About Fernando

Are you looking for a Finance expert who can be immediately operational while supporting your transformation projects?

For over 25 years, I have been supporting international groups such as TotalEnergies, Johnson & Johnson, Takeda, and Biocodex in managing their financial performance, securing closing processes, and improving Finance processes.

I provide operational support or interim management for missions in Management Control, FP&A, Finance Business Partner, and Finance transformation. Accustomed to international and multi-site environments, I work closely with Finance, IT, and Operations teams to ensure data reliability, optimize processes, and provide reliable financial information to support decision-making.

My Impacts:

- VAT recalculation gain J&J = > 1.2 Million euros
- Pharmaceutical tax gain Biocodex = > 600 K€
- CIR gain Stago = > 300 K€
- SNCF = > 5-day gain on closing / Return to financial balance, following budget process redesign

Expertise:
• Budget, Forecast, Rolling Forecast, and Business Reviews
• Closings, reporting, KPIs, and performance analyses
• Cost, margin, and cash-flow optimization
• SAP FI/CO, MM, SD, Business Objects
• Finance ERP, UAT, data migration control, and post-go-live support
• Finance project management and continuous improvement

Recognized for my adaptability, results-oriented approach, and close collaboration with operational teams, I quickly provide concrete solutions in demanding contexts.
