Description

Hello,

I am Éric Roca, an operational management controller working part-time with the leaders of VSEs and SMEs.

After an initial experience in an accounting firm, I built my career within a major specialized retail group.

For over 30 years, I have worked in the field of corporate finance.

A dynamic, operational finance, connected to the field, to men and women.

These experiences have allowed me to understand the company from all angles, all its functions, but also all the interactions and all the obstacles that can exist between departments and management.

Today, my goal is simple: to be a facilitator.

Because:

👉 Figures are only valuable if they serve action.

👉 A tool is only useful if it is understood and adopted by employees.

👉 Performance is not decreed; it is built as a team.

My role is simple:

Understand to Anticipate

Anticipate to Act with serenity

Act to Sustain and Perform
