Back to original languageAbout Mylène
I am open to proposals for part-time Finance Director / Financial Controller missions and ad-hoc assignments to help you structure, finance, close, legally restructure your group, or any other mission that can be carried out by financial management.
With 11 years of experience in audit, financial transactions, and CFO roles in France and internationally at KPMG, Melijoe.com, and Foodles, I have developed in-depth expertise in corporate finance and the creation of financial departments, including human resources, legal, and corporate tax.
I have managed teams of up to twenty people in accounting, management control, FP&A, sales administration, HR, and legal.
My experience has also allowed me to manage all aspects of company financing: fundraising, bank debt raising, leasing arrangements, grant applications, and tax optimizations (JEI, CIR, regional and BPI aid).
I am flexible and immediately available to help you develop your projects, whether for a one-off mission (financial analysis, BI implementation, dashboard development, budget creation, P&L, financial department structuring, improvement report, risk analysis, taxation, fundraising, annual closing, inventory, transition management, forecasting, project study and valuation, interim management, shared CFO, accounting overhaul, tax integration, group legal restructuring...).
Or for long-term support (part-time CFO, daily company steering, financial indicator monitoring, strategic development, financing search, inventory management, working capital requirement, treasury management).
