Presentation
Need to see clearly in your figures before a crucial deadline? I intervene where standard accounting stops: in complexity, urgency and catching up with critical situations.
My priority areas of intervention:
Account Reconciliation & Surgery: Complex bank reconciliations, repayment of third-party accounts (vendors/customers) and justification of outstanding balances. I "clean" your scales for a true picture of your cash flow.
Closing Missions Under Pressure: Assistance with the closing of annual or periodic accounts. I secure your processes to ensure that the financial statements are met on time and that they are reliable to the auditors.
Transition & Relais Finance: Sudden vacancy or need for agile reinforcement? I ensure the continuity of your financial function without loss of know-how.
"Grey Zone" diagnosis: Identification of flow anomalies and reliability of your financial information in an unstable environment.
Why contact me? Former CFO, I bring an external expert perspective capable of immediately adapting to your environment (ERP, local or international processes). No blah blah, concrete results and precise execution.
