Outsourced Management Controller | Part-time CFO | SMEs
Are you running an SME and flying blind when it comes to your financials? No in-house CFO, an accountant you only see four times a year, and important decisions to make without real financial visibility.
I act as an outsourced management controller or part-time CFO to give you that visibility, quickly, without hiring.
What I do specifically:
- Build or overhaul your dashboards and reports
- Budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow monitoring
- Profitability analysis by business line, product, or client
- Migration and structuring of your management tools (ERP, Excel)
- Cost and margin optimization
My background:
10 years of management control in companies— Valeo (R&D, €30M budget), Amadeus (Business Unit €110M), Vertech Group (CFO, growth from 7 to 25 employees)
then 4 years of financial consulting missions for leadersof SMEs and non-profit organizations through my firm ADEV.
Available 2 to 3 days/week — Nice, Sophia-Antipolis, Toulon, Marseille, and fully remote.
