Before Partners' story began with a vision: to revolutionize the finance industry by building a network-centric consulting firm. Founded by Stéphane Hincourt-Thomassin, an expert with over 20 years in finance, our journey is about connecting expertise and passion to empower businesses.
At Before Partners, our foundation is built not just on expertise, but on a shared entrepreneurial journey. Founded by Stéphane Hincourt-Thomassin, a seasoned expert in mergers, acquisitions, and fundraising, we stepped away from the structure of large consultancy firms to embrace the freedom and challenges of entrepreneurship. This decision was fueled by a desire to create a more flexible, client-focused approach, free from the constraints of rigid corporate hierarchies.
Our business model is a reflection of our commitment to deliver bespoke solutions. We've established a dynamic network of talented professionals, handpicked for each project based on their skills, background, and expertise. This approach allows us to assemble the perfect team for your unique challenges, rather than being limited to a static in-house staff.
Our love for reading, writing, and synthesizing information into broader perspectives is at the core of our philosophy. This passion for knowledge and insight led to the creation of "The Blue Lobster Finance". The newsletter is not just a source of financial wisdom; it's a reflection of our ongoing quest to understand and illuminate the complexities entrepreneurs face in their journey.
At the heart of Before Partners lies our unwavering passion for learning and mentorship. We thrive on sharing our extensive knowledge with those embarking on their financial journeys, whether they are budding entrepreneurs or established business leaders. This commitment to mentorship is not just about imparting wisdom; it's a two-way street where every client interaction is seen as an opportunity to learn, be inspired, and grow.
Stéphane Hincourt-Thomassin career is a tapestry of high-profile experiences at leading firms like BDO, Deloitte, and Mazars, culminating in the founding of Before Partners in 2019. His expertise is not just in numbers, but in translating them into actionable strategies for businesses poised for growth or change.
