About Jean

Financial Controller | FP&A | Business Partner

I help CEOs, CFOs and founders turn numbers into clear decisions. I bring structure, visibility and reliability to your finance so you can focus on running the business, not fighting spreadsheets.

What I bring

  • Strong business partnering: I speak the language of sales, ops and product, not only accounting.
  • Solid analytical skills: I quickly deep-dive into data, challenge assumptions and highlight drivers of margin and cash.
  • Clear communication: I turn complex figures into simple, actionable messages.
  • Ownership: I deliver on time, with high quality and a pragmatic mindset.

Typical missions

  • Management reporting: design or improvement of monthly reports and dashboards (P&L, cash, KPIs by country, BU, product, client).
  • Budgeting & forecasting: annual budget, rolling forecasts, scenarios, variance analysis and support for management presentations.
  • Cash & performance: cash-flow projections, working capital review (DSO, DPO, inventory), identification of quick wins.
  • Processes & tools: faster month-end closing, standardisation of procedures, optimisation of Excel/BI models or ERP reporting.

If you need a hands-on Financial Controller who can quickly understand your business and provide actionable insights, let’s talk about your current challenges and priorities.
