Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Former financial auditor at EY, progressing to Assistant Manager level with over 5 years of experience in financial auditing within Big 4 environments. I now support companies, finance departments, and firms on finance consulting, audit, internal control, reporting, and financial transformation assignments.

My background has allowed me to work with international groups in various sectors: heavy industry, automotive, energy, commercial companies, real estate, private equity, and asset management. I have developed strong expertise in financial statement review, risk analysis, financial cycle control, consolidation, reporting packages, monthly/quarterly/annual closings, IFRS, French GAAP, Lux GAAP, as well as in reviewing walkthroughs and control tests in SOX/PCAOB environments.

I provide both operational support and methodological assistance on external audit, internal audit, internal control, process review, financial data reliability, closing optimization, and reporting improvement assignments. I can also assist finance teams with transformation, automation, dashboards, KPIs, and BI reporting, with a business-oriented approach focused on performance and decision-making.

Thanks to my experience in demanding, international, and multi-sector environments, I quickly adapt to new contexts, tools, teams, and methodologies. My positioning combines audit rigor, understanding of CFO challenges, financial analysis capabilities, and operational vision to quickly deliver value autonomously or in coordination with finance, audit, consolidation, or project teams.
