About Marie-Charlotte

Over +10 years, I have built a unique expertise in corporate finance, with 4 years at General Electric, 4 years as an entrepreneur and 4 years as CFO for startups and SMEs.

My career began with an MSc in Management from ESSEC, after preparatory classes. I then joined General Electric's prestigious graduate finance program, which offered me an international experience (Abu Dhabi, London, Stockholm) and allowed me to work closely with financial directors and CEOs within various sectors of the conglomerate (financial services, real estate, energy).

Today, I support fast-growing companies in various fields such as SaaS, e-commerce or consulting, as a part-time CFO and financial consultant. I work in particular on missions of:

  • Fundraising:
• Process design and management of communication with key stakeholders
• Answers to financial questions and presentations to investment funds
• Development of business plans, pitch decks and financial modeling

  • Management control:
• Definition of key performance indicators
• Development of dashboards and budgets
• Synthesis for decision-makers

  • Treasury:
• Creation of 5-year cash flow forecasting models, integrating different scenarios
• Management of intra-group cash flows for several entities
• Treasury optimization: improvement of collection with innovative strategies, obtaining financing solutions, and reduction of cash outflows

  • Internal control:
• Identification of major risks
• Implementation of procedures
• Review of controls and awareness

Excel geek and PowerPoint enthusiast, with an excellent sense of human relations and communication, I will bring to your company my rigor, my taste for concise, accurate and impactful work.
I look forward to taking on new challenges with you!
