About Meryam

Are you looking to secure and execute sensitive projects in finance, outsourcing, or governance, without overburdening your internal teams.

As a senior finance consultant, I help you structure, manage, and deliver your transformation projects (entity integration, restructuring, regulatory compliance, optimization of the finance function) with a high level of autonomy and reliability.

What sets me apart: over 20 years of experience in the banking sector, including 10 years at EY, a dual expertise in audit/internal control and project management, as well as proven experience in complex regulated environments. I bring an external, structured, and pragmatic perspective, capable of translating your business, financial, and regulatory challenges into concrete action plans, integrating governance, processes, controls, and reporting.

Specifically, I work on projects involving:
• Legal restructuring and integration of new entities (e.g., MFEX integration into a Belgian credit institution, cross-border projects);
• Regulatory compliance (EBA guidelines on outsourcing, European directives such as DGSD, prudential authority requirements);
• Optimization and transformation of finance functions (closing processes, internal control, reporting, organization of finance departments);
• Definition and updating of policies, procedures, outsourcing frameworks, exit frameworks, and governance schemes

My typical deliverables include: business cases and impact analyses, recommendation memos for management, detailed project plans, process mapping and optimization, risk and control matrices, reports for committees (Risk Committee, Management Committee, Board), and governance documentation.

I work in French and English.
