About Zineb

Freelance Financial Management Consultant - Reporting, Treasury, and Debt Collection

Passionate about all areas of finance, I have built my expertise by alternating accounting, management control, and CFO roles at KFC, ID Logistics, Clicar, and Alliance Groupe. I have managed a portfolio of over 350 franchisees, reduced payment times by 20 days in 6 months, and automated financial reporting. I enjoy transforming complex figures into clear decisions:
  • Secure cash flow
  • Ensure process reliability
  • Structure reporting
Curious and proactive, I adapt quickly and offer concrete solutions that save executives time, peace of mind, and visibility. If you are looking for an operational and trustworthy partner, let's talk. I often start with a brief diagnosis to prioritize actions.
