About Maëva

I transform your data into fast and reliable decisions.


FP&A & Management Control Consultant (Master in Management Control & Audit), I spent 5 years in an American multinational company where I designed and automated financial tools for management and subsidiaries. I know the codes, standards, and methods, which I now adapt to all types of businesses, from VSEs to large groups.

What I do for you:
  • Creation or redesign of Excel / Google Sheets files: cleaning, structuring, 1-click updates.
  • Driver-based budgets and forecasts, rolling forecasts, variance analyses (actual vs. budget).
  • Modeling: scenarios, ROI/payback, break-even point, price/volume sensitivity.
  • Monitoring of margins and costs (standard costing, hourly rates, productivity) and inventory (turnover, obsolescence).
  • KPI dashboards for management and operational teams: clear, documented, and adopted.
  • Robust deliverables: stable formulas, error checks, clear and concise documentation.
For small businesses or freelancers, I also offer simple, ready-to-use files, delivered with a quick guide and an explanatory video call. The goal: to make your figures clear, actionable, and understandable without jargon.

Why are my rates affordable?
I live abroad and my living costs are reduced. This work is a real pleasure, a "plus" in my professional life. For the same scope, my day rate in France would be around €700, but I can offer around €300 without compromising on quality or experience.

My values:
Responsive, adaptable, and results-oriented, I am available for video calls at any time (Teams, Zoom).
Bilingual French/English, I deliver and communicate in the language of your choice.
Remote work is my priority, with the possibility of occasional meetings depending on my travel.

👉 Tell me your needs: I will propose a prototype and a concrete action plan quickly.
