    January 2022 - Today (4 years and 7 months)
    Paris, France
    I am developing my business within my company, Valorize, focusing on advanced expertise in financial strategy, transactional analysis, and executive support. My work covers all of a company's financial needs, from operational valuation to prospective modeling and daily management.

    I am involved in financial due diligence, multi-criteria valuations, and supporting external growth, restructuring, or divestment operations. I also manage shareholder dispute situations, design appropriate legal and tax structures, and optimize structures during acquisition or transfer operations. A significant part of my activity involves preparing comprehensive financing files for banks, including business plans and projections. I also provide outsourced CFO services when organizations require enhanced management.

    Each year, I conduct between ten and fifteen contractual audits, primarily in the audiovisual sector, using a rigorous methodology based on financial analysis and a thorough review of agreements.

    I also engage in management control, producing reports and dashboards for rigorous monitoring of margins and performance.

    Finally, I assist executives and private clients with wealth and tax structuring, compensation management, asset organization, including international assets, and the analysis of complex financial situations.

    My approach is based on analytical precision, mastery of technical environments, and the writing skills essential for producing reliable and actionable deliverables.
