About Michel

Part-time CFO, I work with SME leaders who want to regain control of their finances without burdening their structure.

My approach is simple: make the finance function useful, readable, and directly actionable. No reporting for reporting's sake. Every indicator must serve a decision.

I now integrate AI into my practices to go faster and further:
  • automation of low-value tasks (reporting, recurring analyses),
  • improved reliability and speed of financial closing,
  • production of more refined analyses to inform your choices,
  • implementation of simple tools that your teams can actually use.
Specifically, I help you to:
  • structure your financial management (dashboards, forecasts, cash flow),
  • secure your growth (margins, costs, profitability by activity),
  • save time in your administrative and financial processes,
  • make decisions with a clear and up-to-date vision.

25 years of experience in SMEs and associations, including 12 years in management, with a strong operational culture: I integrate quickly, I understand your challenges, and I get straight to the point.

I work on a part-time basis, flexibly, according to your needs.

If you are looking for a CFO who can structure, simplify, and accelerate using AI — while remaining pragmatic — we should work well together.

This involves numerous realizations and exercises, including: fostering optimal experience, or "flow"; overcoming limiting beliefs; adopting habits that improve us daily; maintaining continuous clarity on goals and priorities. Less stress, less fatigue, more time for oneself and loved ones, more self-confidence; and thus becoming a better leader.
