About Jodie

Are you leading a small business and the numbers seem to be slipping away?
Balance sheet misunderstood, unclear margins, stressful cash flow, decisions made on a 'gut feeling'?

I help entrepreneurs and leaders of small businesses truly understand the financial situation of their activity and regain control through clear and adapted steering tools for their reality.

As a consultant in financial steering and structuring, I analyze profitability, track costs, build forecasts, and support strategic decisions, without unnecessary jargon.

With over 10 years of entrepreneurial experience, I've learned to steer a business rigorously and pragmatically, without a safety net, with an immediate profitability requirement. This hands-on approach allows me to bring a reassuring and operational external perspective, even after a complicated accounting review.

I particularly enjoy working with creative profiles and non-financial leaders, bringing pedagogy, clarity, and method.

    Creation and structuring of a department dedicated to Copyright management within a large media monitoring group.
