Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Part-time CFO. Interim CFO. SMEs and Mid-cap companies.

I have particular expertise in performance and cash management/optimization, company management (planning and strategy, teamwork), and project management (integration projects, change management). Versatile, I master all areas of financial management (management control, cash and treasury, accounting, compliance, process organization, and risk management) and can handle any type of transition (handover, urgent replacement, project management, turnaround).

I have solid experience (+20 years), including 2 years in interim and part-time financial management for several clients, and over 10 years in financial management for SMEs in an international environment and on complex projects within a large group. My experience in operations management and sales management has allowed me to develop a true business orientation.

Flexible, I can adapt to any situation to be quickly operational and autonomous. Rigorous, pragmatic, involved, results-oriented, communicative with good interpersonal skills.

Constantly listening to my clients, I am enthusiastic about the idea of satisfying their needs and bringing them value during the transition period.
