Description

Do you need rapid operational support for your accounting department, a leader for a transformation project, or expert insight to reorganize your financial processes? I'm here for that.

As a qualified accountant and former Manager at Mazars, I provide transition management and project management services to accounting and financial departments — with the ability to ramp up immediately.

What I bring you concretely:

Taking charge of an accounting department (suppliers, general, financial operations)

Leading and deploying accounting transformation projects (dematerialization, reorganization, new tools)

Producing and reviewing multi-standard closing reports (IFRS 9, IFRS 16, CRC, consolidation)

Managing accounting teams (3 to 20 people), organizing and developing skills

Change management and relations with statutory auditors and supervisory authorities

What sets me apart: a dual expertise from both a firm (75 client files, reports, closings) and large corporations (SNCF, Total, Meetic, Vinci, EDF) — I understand the constraints of an SME as well as the requirements of a large group.

Types of assignments: occasional support, interim position, accounting project management, diagnosis and department reorganization, closing support.

Sectors: rail, real estate, energy, internet, oil, services.
