About Renato

After more than 30 years in Financial Management and Management Control positions in large companies, today I help SMEs apply that same discipline in a simple, practical, and results-oriented way. My goal is to identify where profitability is lost, improve liquidity, and help managers make decisions with reliable information. I believe a company doesn't need more complex reports, but clear data that allows it to protect its margin, control its treasury, and grow profitably. I work as an External Financial Director, adapting to the needs of each company and providing a strategic vision without the need to hire this profile full-time. If your company's turnover increases every year but you feel that the profit is not reflected in the cash, we can probably find out why together.
