Co-founder · CCF&C
Christophe Combier
Fractional CFO services, due diligence, valuations
A graduate of Sciences Po Paris and the HEC Executive MBA, Christophe Combier began his career at Deloitte before joining Business Objects, where he was the group's first CFO. After a spell at an investment fund, he founded CCF&C in 1999 to support SMEs and mid-sized companies through growth and financial structuring. His conviction: rigorously kept accounts, with a chart of accounts suited to the business model, are the foundation of financial management.
