About Ethan

Former IT auditor at PwC (6 years), specializing in internal control and compliance (SOX, ITGC), I now support companies in all sectors in making their Finance & Operations processes and information systems more reliable.

I work on targeted assignments: mapping and optimizing processes (Order-to-Cash, Purchase-to-Pay, Record-to-Report), preparing for and assisting with audits, implementing or improving internal controls, structuring documentation, reviewing rights and access in tools (ERP, CRM, business tools). My approach is pragmatic: concrete deliverables, prioritized action plans, focus on reducing risks and errors.

Accustomed to transformation environments (growth, tool changes, compliance), I help Finance, IT, and Operations management to collaborate better, secure their key processes, and gain efficiency. Assignments can be 100% remote, in French or English.
