Independent Administrative and Financial Director, I support the leaders of startups and SMEs in structuring their financial organization and in seeking public or private funding, particularly related to innovation (CIR, CII, Bpifrance, subsidies, etc.).

For over 20 years, I have held financial management and consulting positions in high-growth or transforming companies. Today, I work as a freelancer to help you:

- Secure your Research Tax Credit (CIR) and Innovation Tax Credit (CII) applications
- Professionalize your administrative and financial processes
- Support your teams in their skill development

My approach is pragmatic, benevolent, and results-oriented.
My goal is to help you gain efficiency and financial peace of mind.
