Olivier Thiery

Welcome! I provide fractional CFO & COO services focused on privately owned small businesses and startups (<$100M in revenues) with a suite of tactical services to strengthen finance, operations, and organization health. During my professional career, I have worked in high-paced, international, high-growth structures. As such, I had to learn strategic planning, strategy implementation, and team alignment. In the role of consultant, I have a compelling advantage as I had to apply these management techniques in the real world, in companies where I worked. From this experience, I derived the best practices and approaches to implement these techniques for your organization. My other expertise is tactical and detailed oriented. It is in building, deploying, and/or repairing multi-currency, multi-unit & division US GAAP accounting systems. I am a specialist with the multi-currency, multi-divisional consolidation of accounts, transfer pricing, and all of the activities under FP&A. I have built many businesses from the ground up in diverse industries and multiple countries (US, Europe, Africa & Asia). In a leadership capacity, I have been growing organizations with more than 200 employees and worked with up to 12 direct reports in the capacity of CFO. Working with and/or for rapid growth organizations, I am a sensible cashflow manager and honed skills for the engineering/building of solid modeling/forecasting/budgeting tools, tailored to your company. Serving thought leaders being at the forefront of their field, I excel at leveraging the use of technologies, integrating cloud platforms, and blueprinting business connections with data and AI models for the commercial success of the organizations served. My strengths in leadership are my ability to create a vision with the team for the organization; and being able to articulate it through operating principles, which leads to disciplined operational and strategic thinking, thus execution.​ A strategic planner, I am equipped with strong communication skills, working with your key stakeholders effectively to understand first their challenges and work with them to find solutions, define milestones, set goals and objectives, and cascade these through the company. I am pragmatic, hands-on, and energetic; I enjoy challenges in a collaborative environment.
