About Simon

After an 8-year experience in various corporate finance professions, I make my skills available to companies with occasional/part-time needs.

I am based in Biarritz, but I am very mobile, especially in Bordeaux and the Paris region.

I can intervene on recurring missions:

- Business Plan
- Budget
- Project Manager (PMO)
- Financial analysis and identification of optimization levers
- Cost control and optimization
- Implementation and monitoring of performance indicators

Or on temporary missions:

- Excel templates (payroll analysis, customer base, margin analysis, etc.)
- Financial modeling of a new activity
- Investment performance (cash flow, IRR, payback)
- Training employees in the use of Excel / reading an income statement / the basics of management control

My objective: to provide decision-making support tools, at the service of the decision-maker, in an approach to optimizing performance.

I attach great importance to creating intuitive, accessible, agile tools. I have always worked in international companies, and I am perfectly fluent in English and Spanish.

My passions: EXCEL (obviously) but also and above all surfing, kite, hiking
