About Jeannette

Need to stabilize your financial management or lead a strategic transition?

With over 30 years of experience in financial management and auditing within international organizations, I work with General Management to secure financial trajectories in contexts of crisis, transformation, or strong international development.
  • Transition Management - Reactivity and Continuity: Specialist in emergency situations, I ensure immediate service continuity in case of sudden departure of a CFO. My priority is to stabilize the finance function: taking over cash flows, securing treasury, and ensuring reporting reliability. I bring real operational serenity by guaranteeing clean audit reports from top-tier firms (EY, Mazars, BDO).
  • International Business Partner & CSR Expertise: Expert in multicultural environments, I support international organizations and companies with a strong CSR impact in managing large budgets (up to €73 million across 18 countries).
  • Accountability & Donors: Mastery of contractual compliance with the EU, AFD, or the Gates Foundation.
  • International Deployment: Supervision of multi-currency flows and harmonization of global internal controls.
  • Due Diligence & Strategic Decision Support: I secure your growth operations through due diligence and acquisition audit missions. My expertise illuminates your decisions with a fine analysis of complex risks and rigorous financial modeling.
  • "Finance & Tech" Lever: I manage your complex financial IT projects: ERP migration (Odoo, Sage, Thalia), automation of closing processes, and implementation of decision-making KPIs. I anticipate your regulatory changes, such as electronic invoicing, for seamless compliance.
