Looking for an expert in finance, business management, structuring, or financing to support your startup or SME in its growth?
I work with several companies on different rhythms, adapted to the needs of the company and its leaders. My approach is built on availability and rigor: being reactive and producing quality work to be the perfect business partner.
As a part-time CFO / shared-time DAF, I have the skills and experience to support you in the financial (dilutive and non-dilutive financing), accounting, legal, compliance (GDPR), and human resources (social/payroll) challenges your company may face.
With a background in advanced mathematics and a solid experience in startups/scale-ups and M&A/Transaction Services consulting, I have acquired in-depth expertise in implementing management tools, structuring teams and finance, as well as in setting up processes and strategic planning.
So, ready to accelerate? Contact me now to discuss your project and discover how I can help you achieve your goals, on a one-time or recurring basis.
