Back to original languageAbout N'Deye Astou
Freelance management controller, I work with SMEs and mid-sized companies that need reliable financial steering without hiring a permanent employee.
What I deliver concretely:
– Operational multi-site reporting (dashboards, KPIs, revenue, unsold goods, HR indicators)
– Budget monitoring and cost control by activity or by site
– Monthly income statements per entity or point of sale
– Support for difficult decisions: site closures, restructuring, ERP deployment – Building reports from scratch, adapted for executives and boards
Concrete results:
– Unsold goods rate reduced from 20% to 11% in 1 year (network of 70 bakeries in Switzerland)
– ~25 site closures justified by financial analysis, presented to the board
– ERP deployed in 2.5 months (Lightspeed → Oracle Cloud + Panipro)
– CNES project >€100M managed over 10 years with quarterly reporting to the European client (EUSPA)
Intervention contexts: SMEs and mid-sized companies, multi-site or multi-activity, in structuring, growth, or restructuring phases.
Tools: SAP · Power BI · Oracle · ERP Dynamics Nav · ERP Divalto · Panipro · Advanced Excel
