About Jean-Baptiste

Administrative and Financial Manager:
I support large companies and ETIs in their strategic and operational financial projects: internal & external audit, management control, process optimization, compliance, and performance management.

After more than 3 years at EY in financial audit (up to Senior level), I worked for leading clients (L'Oréal, Danone, Korian, Hitachi, Plastic Omnium, etc.), where I gained solid expertise in IFRS, US GAAP, internal control, transactions, and business plan review.

I then continued in internal audit (international assignments in the US, India, Brazil, Europe) and management control for the Ministry of the Armed Forces and Groupama, before taking on RAF roles within growing organizations.

Today, I offer assignments in RAF, audit, management control, performance management, and cross-functional financial projects, particularly for long-term assignments in large companies.

What I bring:
- Both strategic and operational vision (project management, process implementation)
- Multisectoral and international expertise (industry, health, real estate, retail, services)
- Experience in reporting, consolidation, financial optimization, and regulatory compliance
- Ability to work in French and English
