About Francois-Xavier

Business & Corporate Structuring Consultant

I support managers, entrepreneurs, and project leaders in structuring, organizing, and managing their business, with a very operational, field-oriented, and decision-making approach.

My background has allowed me to work in various environments (very small businesses, SMEs, service industries, catering, hospitality, entrepreneurial projects), often in contexts of creation, takeover, or reorganization, where rapid structuring and pragmatism are essential.

My areas of intervention

Business Management & Operations:
- Implementation and monitoring of dashboards

- Financial analysis and results interpretation

- Cash flow monitoring and needs forecasting

- Decision support for managers

Structuring & Organization:
- Structuring of internal processes

- Operational organization and work method optimization

- Clarification of roles, priorities, and indicators

- Support for managers and teams

Business Creation

- Support for creation or takeover

- Assistance in choosing the legal structure

- Construction of forecasts and business plans

- Profitability and viability analysis of the project

- Post-creation structuring

Financial & Tax Issues (Operational Approach)
- Understanding and analyzing the tax impacts on the business

- Optimization of expenses and financial organization

- Translation of financial issues into clear and actionable elements

My Way of Working

I favor a concrete, human, and pragmatic approach: quickly understanding the business, observing the field, challenging the numbers, and proposing simple, applicable, and effective solutions.

I work both on a one-off basis (diagnostic, structuring, decision support) and on a multi-month support basis, particularly during key development or transition phases.
