Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

After completing finance studies in Toulouse in 2010, I supported a team of entrepreneurs in developing their projects and investments in the renewable energy sector (Biogas in particular). During this 7-year period, I gradually moved into a financial director role and managed a large number of issues inherent to the management of a small group of companies.

In 2017, I decided to create SOLID with the aim of continuing outsourced financial management and investing in projects related to the energy transition.

The missions I have carried out in recent years have allowed me to specialize in producing financial reporting.
