Back to original languageAbout Marie-Laurence
Outsourced, Part-time or Transition CFO
Because running your business means having reliable, solid figures and understanding your levers for growth. Because you need visibility in the fog and anticipation in an uncertain world. Because a leader, whatever the size of their structure, must be able to focus on their strategy with complete peace of mind.
CFO for 15 years, with experience in audit and management control, I understand the realities on the ground. I am the one who helps you take a step back, who analyzes, verifies, forecasts, alerts, or reassures.
Versatile and pragmatic: I intervene in both strategy and operations. As a partner to the leader when a step back is needed, I also know how to "roll up my sleeves" when necessary.
My typical interventions:
- Financial structuring and management: accounting recovery, budget process management, multi-company reporting
- Crisis management: bank negotiation, cash flow planning, restructuring
- Corporate finance operations: LBO, due diligence, divestitures
- Digitalization: ERP, automation, dashboards
