Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

After 38 years of experience in accounting, consolidation, and taxation, I have developed skills at the intersection of these three departments that contribute to the preparation of consolidated financial statements.

Rigorous and results-oriented, I take great pleasure in training teams. For 5 consecutive years, I had the opportunity to share my passion with students in the Master 2 Dauphine program in Corporate Taxation through a conference on the Effective Tax Rate and Deferred Taxes.

My technical expertise and my ability to optimize processes allow me to bring significant added value.

Passing on my skills is what drives me for the coming years.
