Description

Hello and welcome to my Malt profile! 🌻

Who I am: Pauline / 33 years old / Living in the Norman countryside for 7 years 🌳/ Kitesurf addict / Mom of three little boys and a golden retriever / Cancer rising Aquarius ♋️

With a Master's degree in corporate finance from Dauphine, I first worked as an analyst in a Parisian investment fund (start-ups and SMEs) and then as CFO for several companies in completely different sectors (online business, start-ups, SMEs in hospitality, etc.).

Today, I offer my CFO services to support you in your growth and development..

I love diving into a new environment and doing everything I can to understand its different aspects and challenges. With solid experience, I help you with various subjects, all related to structuring your company.

Implementation of financial monitoring systems and daily management (Business plan, P&L, cash flow monitoring, KPIs, financial reporting)
Pre-accounting, management accounting, and relationship with the accounting firm
Fundraising and support for fundraising rounds (dilutive and non-dilutive)
Implementation of HR processes and daily management (payroll, employee onboarding, contracts, team cohesion, etc.)
Operational optimization: research and implementation of tools and automation solutions to improve internal processes (Airtable, Zapier, etc.)

I can support you in two types of formats:

Occasionally and for a limited time as part of an audit mission followed by the implementation of certain monitoring tools and potential training for existing teams
Long-term mission if you wish to completely outsource the administrative and financial function (pace to be defined between us)

Feel free to contact me to discuss your needs, I would be delighted to chat with you.
