Back to original languageAbout Jeanbaptiste
After various experiences in auditing firms, investment banking, CFO in a committed start-up and outsourced CFO for SMEs and NGOs, I founded Terrafi, a partner company for businesses and associations in the sustainable transformation of their financial management.
The goal: to transform accounting from an administrative function into a true management lever, thanks to reliable and usable data.
🚀 My expertise:
- Financial Automation & Structuring: I implement accounting and financial processes from A to Z — integration and setup of Pennylane (analytical, accounting, e-invoicing RFE), automation of data flows, and deployment of BI reporting tools (Power BI, Finthesis) for real-time monitoring.
- Financial Management & Strategic Consulting: I support executives in their daily financial decision-making — business plan construction and monitoring, financial forecasting modeling, treasury and cash flow management, as well as regular financial consulting.
- Pennylane Training - Qualiopi Certified — in financial management, administration, and accounting on Pennylane
🔎 My approach: combining the rigor of accounting expertise with the strategic vision of a part-time CFO to:
- Maximize accounting efficiency: transform accounting from an administrative function into a strategic lever using AI and modern tools like Pennylane.
- Improve financial management: implement relevant reporting (Finthesis), ensure accounting data reliability,
- Develop solid financial forecasts and optimize costs and investments.
🤝 Associations & NGOs
After several specific assignments in this sector, particularly with an NGO, I decided to develop a dedicated branch for associations and foundations.

We went through Jean-Baptiste to automate invoice creation.
In our environment, it was impossible to directly connect our payment provider (GocardLess) with our accounting software (Pennylane).
Jean-Baptiste understood our need well and quickly found a solution (which was not obvious).
The quality of the deliverable was excellent with good documentation allowing for easy information transfer.
As you can see, I recommend Jean-Baptiste without hesitation!
Looking forward to collaborating again,
