Madeleine Briastre

Looking to structure your financial steering, improve reporting reliability, or gain more visibility into your performance? I can assist you with these matters, remotely and in both French and English.

For 7 years, I worked in FP&A, management control, and business partnering within listed groups and LBO environments, in France and the United States. Notably, I built the entire financial infrastructure for a US subsidiary from scratch (budget, reforecast, P&L tracking by project, cost control), being the sole finance function on-site.

Specifically, I can help you to:

• Implement or revamp your budget, reforecast, and rolling forecast cycles

• Build clear management reporting with variance analysis and actionable commentary for your decisions

• Model your business (P&L, cash, unit economics) and improve the reliability of your forecasts

• Automate and accelerate your processes using advanced Excel, Power Query, and Power BI

What sets me apart: I translate numbers into decisions, not just spreadsheets. I am comfortable in dynamic environments (scale-ups, restructuring, post-acquisition integration) and accustomed to liaising with operational teams as well as executive committees.

Bilingual in French/English, I work remotely, on a project or recurring basis. Let's discuss your needs.
