Philippe Binon
EXPERIENCE AND APPROACH
A broad finance background
A focused way of working
Across his assignments, Philippe has worked on both financial risk analysis and the resolution of operational issues affecting revenue, credit and cash flow.
Over the years, he has worked across corporate, financial services and SME environments, allowing him to approach financial issues from different angles: risk, operations, performance and management decision-making.
This breadth of experience enables him to move from detailed analysis to concrete action while maintaining a clear management-level view of financial performance.
AREAS OF EXPERTISE
From insight to sustainable results
Revenue Assurance
Identify, recover and prevent revenue leakage
Review contractual terms, fee structures, services delivered and billing data to identify leakage, quantify the financial impact and implement corrective actions. Strengthen controls and documentation to reduce recurrence and secure future revenue
Billing & Collections
Turn revenue into invoices — and invoices into cash
Assess billing processes, data quality, responsibilities and collection practices to identify delays, recurring errors and weak follow-up. Improve invoicing accuracy, strengthen ownership and accelerate cash conversion through more effective collection processes
Anticipate customer credit risk
Evaluate credit assessment, credit limits, customer exposure and payment behaviour to identify emerging risks early. Strengthen monitoring, decision-making and preventive actions to reduce bad debt exposure and protect cash flow.
Cash Flow & Working Capital
Improve visibility and anticipate liquidity needs
Build and strengthen cash-flow forecasting, analyse working-capital drivers and identify the factors affecting liquidity. Improve visibility over short- and medium-term cash needs to support better financial planning and management decisions
Financial Control & Performance
Turn financial data into actionable information
Analyse profitability, costs, KPIs and operational drivers to identify performance gaps and support better management decisions. Strengthen reporting, financial visibility and control to improve decision-making and overall financial performance
Interim Finance Management
Bring senior finance leadership when needed
Provide hands-on senior support during transformation, remediation, transition periods or temporary operational needs. Step into complex finance situations quickly, restore structure and momentum, and help teams deliver practical and sustainable improvements
WAY OF WORKING
Pragmatic execution | Measurable impact
Philippe’s approach combines detailed operational work with a broader financial perspective. He is comfortable working directly with data, processes and teams, while keeping sight of the wider impact on revenue, cash flow and financial performance.
