Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

After 10 years of focusing on a company's financial issues (accounting reporting, management control, SaaS indicators), I had the opportunity to participate in the construction of a product, specifically payroll software. I contributed to its development both functionally and operationally.

Today, I want to support startup/SME leaders with financial steering tools that will enable them to implement their strategy sustainably and with peace of mind.

My missions revolve around the following themes:

- Business plan: creation and regular updates using forecasts

- Activity indicators: these can be commercial and financial

- Recommendations: indicators should allow for better project clarity and the implementation of concrete actions.

- Structuring of financial processes

- Coordination with the accounting firm: management of accounting flows and documents necessary for reliable accounting

- Cash management: visibility and anticipation

I adapt to my clients' needs and can work on-site occasionally or remotely (remote work holds no secrets for me).

At NewDeal, I contributed to the development of the Product strategy as part of the development of an automated and collaborative payroll software.
My role was to define the product's features, in tandem with the technical manager, and to identify improvements in terms of functionalities, while respecting the legal and conventional framework.
To implement the first version of the software, I defined the interface's scope in collaboration with an UX designer based on payroll-specific user stories.
Since its inception, I have coordinated the NewDeal project using Agile methodology.
When we marketed the software, I deployed it to our clients, whom I assist daily in using the tool.
Beyond my product role, I was also responsible for managing the company's finances.
