Description

With 23 years of experience in Finance, internal audit, and information systems, I have developed business partner expertise within start-ups (Director Financial Controller at Criteo and Senior Financial Analyst at Expedia and HomeAway) after honing my skills at Kraft Foods (Internal Auditor and Financial Analyst).

My expertise lies in supporting companies in implementing processes, tools, and reports to ensure the reliability and use of accounting and operational data for strategy definition, budget elaboration, and performance management.

► Your financial controller or management controller leaves, but the planning cycle cannot wait!

► You use or are implementing Hyperion Planning or an ERP

► You are struggling to implement your business model

► You wish to create a Finance department within a subsidiary

Areas of intervention

► Processes: audit, implementation, and improvement of closing, budget, and strategic plan processes

► Reports and dashboards: implementation of financial, activity, or operational reports in Excel

Existing analysis: audit and inventory of available, reliable, and usable data
Needs definition: what reports are expected based on available data.
