Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

25 years of experience, including 15 years as Auditor, Chief Financial Officer and Management Control Director in Anglo-Saxon groups. I developed expertise in internal control, performance measurement, steering, and decision support. Then, after 10 years of entrepreneurship and a successful sale, I returned to my first love – Finance – as an outsourced CFO to support SMEs and ETIs in implementing appropriate processes and reporting tools, as well as in preparing fundraising.
