Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Hello, my name is Ismaël, I am an accounting professional based in Lille for over 8 years now. I have solid experience in the field, through my time in renowned firms and a position as accounting manager for an international group of companies (9 companies - 5 countries - 3 currencies - €20M+ in turnover).

My background has allowed me to be comfortable in both operational and management roles (training, support, supervision, implementation).

I would like to leverage my skills and knowledge for your company in order to, I hope, overcome your challenges.

I specialize in accounting and tax matters, but I can also offer you other related services (company creation, business plan, reporting, legal formalities, etc.).

I can work at your premises (Lille metropolitan area or even Hauts-de-France) or remotely, full-time or part-time, and for a duration that suits you.

Do not hesitate to contact me if I can help you, it would be a pleasure.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
