About Elodie

Are you scaling too fast and your processes can't keep up? That's where I come in.
With 10 years of experience supporting executives and 6 years immersed in fintech startups during their scaling phase, I help founders and C-levels lay the operational foundations that enable growth without implosion—fractional, fully remote, with rapid integration and total autonomy.

My Services
🔍 Operational Audit & Structuring
Comprehensive diagnosis of internal organization, identification of friction points, and implementation of sustainable processes.
Package: €1,500 – €2,500

🧭 Right-Hand Person / Chief of Staff
I assist founders and C-levels with coordination, operational priorities, and decision implementation. I am the link between vision and execution.
Available on a monthly retainer (4, 8, or 12 days/month) or daily rate.

👥 HR & People Ops
Implementation or redesign of HR processes: recruitment, onboarding, HRIS tools, HR policy.
I also provide ad-hoc HR support for specific missions.
Package or daily rate depending on scope.

💰 Finance & Pre-accounting
Daily management of financial flows, invoices, expense reports, liaison with the accounting firm and statutory auditors. Ideal for startups needing a reliable person for finance operations without hiring a CFO.
Available on retainer or monthly package.

🌍 Office/Entity Launch
Establishment of a new office or entity (France or international): organization, tools, local recruitment, startup processes.
Direct experience with opening an office in New York.
Quoted based on complexity.

Why Work With Me?
→ Operational from Day 1 — no need to explain scaling startups to me
→ Bank access, financial tools, HRIS — I handle sensitive matters with discretion
→ 100% remote since 2020, accustomed to distributed teams and async tools
→ I ask the tough questions — and deliver systems that hold up
