About Gaela

Accounts receivable expert for 20 years, I help VSEs/SMEs regain control of their billing, payments, and treasury.
I intervene quickly to update portfolios, organize invoices, follow up with clients, and secure collections.

I can handle very operational needs (invoicing, payment tracking, follow-ups, amicable recovery) as well as more structuring actions: clarifying organization, establishing simple processes, improving treasury visibility, and reducing payment delays.

What I enjoy doing (and what leaders ask me for most):

• quickly taking over a client portfolio
• bringing billing up to date
• following up effectively with a clear schedule
• analyzing unpaid invoices and proposing concrete actions
• streamlining communication between sales, billing, and accounting
• creating simple and useful cash dashboards

Types of missions

One-off, recurring missions, or operational support during peak activity, departures, billing delays, or urgent needs.

    Bordeaux, France
    Accounts receivable specialist for over 20 years, I support companies in the complete management of their Order-to-Cash cycle: billing, payment tracking, follow-ups, dispute management, and process optimization.

    I intervene in both operational missions (billing, reconciliation, follow-ups, amicable recovery, client portfolio monitoring) and more structuring missions: accounts receivable diagnosis, implementation of steering tools, organization of follow-ups, creation of dashboards, analysis of payment terms, and recommendations.

    My approach is pragmatic, effective, and results-oriented: I secure collections, streamline internal processes, improve cash visibility, and help leaders regain control of their treasury.
