You will support several SME directors as their part-time CFO, equipped with a proprietary methodology and platform. You will build the team and strategy of the Services division of a technology company, with a clear path to progressively take over its leadership. The mission is to strengthen European competitiveness by democratizing financial and strategic support for SMEs.
Specifically, the Services division will offer part-time CFOs for Belgian and French companies, equipped with a proprietary methodology and AI platform. The organization currently serves clients with revenues up to €250M and is developing strategic international partnerships.
What you do
For clients (client portfolio):
- In-depth analysis of turnover and margins to identify where the company earns money (product, client, channel, mix, geography) and spends it (fixed and variable costs) to better calibrate strategic decisions.
- Preparation of business plans, annual budgets, and various scenarios (growth, investment, financing, divestment) to help managers make the right decisions.
- Optimization of cash flow and monitoring of forecasts, assistance with financing management (capital, debt, subsidies).
- Implementation of good internal and external reporting practices (third parties), assistance with the relationship between the company and its fiduciary.
- Implementation of good governance practices.
Within the organization:
- Develop the client portfolio and partnerships (accountants, banks, funds).
- Transform each assignment into a reusable method and contribute to the evolution of the platform and AI tools.
- Recruit and grow the team of CFOs, then progressively take over the leadership of the Services division as it develops.
Profile

- The ability to interact and propose concrete solutions to directors.
- A network and a taste for business development (you enjoy convincing as much as advising).
