I am a Financial Professional (over 18 years) with strong expertise in the areas of financial planning, preparation and analysis of financial reports, budgeting, forecasting and accounting. I demonstrate an extensive experience in developing performance metrics, identifying expenses savings opportunities, detail-oriented with strong analytical and organizational skills and ability to handle multiple projects in a fast-paced, deadline-oriented environment. I also have hands-on-experience in using various accounting and reporting software, in developing and implementing analytical tools using large amount of data and I’m proficient in the use of MS Excel at an advanced level (pivot tables, macros, financial functions, charts). I am also fluent in French and English with excellent communication skills in both languages. After 18 years of international and domestic experience as a Finance professional, involving sometimes complex remote office organizational structures, I decided to start my own consulting business. I help European start-ups and small growing businesses requiring expert first-hand assistance to work as a liaison with their US local Finance team. My goal is to get some others clients that might be interested in having a Finance consultant few days a month on a regular basis or for a specific mission. I would like to help their finance organization re-establish best practice management reporting into the heart of their finance function, optimize the way in which systems are used to capture and deliver data analysis, and increase financial visibility for top management.
