About Us -

Our Approach

With an entrepreneurial mindset, we understand the challenges start-ups and SMEs fac, including keeping accounts in order and making financially sound decisions. Whereas a larger organization might be able to rely on an in-house finance manager, we give equal opportunity for all companies to be able to get a Finance Manager on a part time basis.

When CTC Accounting accept a contract, we endeavor to become a trusted and valued part of your team, consistently delivering the highest level of advice coupled with up-to-date knowledge of the best local and international accounting practices.

Our Story

Caroline Thevenot; founder and executive Director of CTC Accounting has been working in small, medium and large companies as an accountant, cost controller, finance manager and CFO for over 20 years.

Through her hard work and long journey it was clear that small companies or start-ups struggle to afford hiring quality finance staff which can deeply impact the development of their company.

She started offering her services of Finance Manager on a part time basis to a company who was just looking for an admin person, knowing that they didn’t have the budget for a Finance Manager. She told them, What about hiring me “part time” so that you can enjoy the services of a Finance manager without the full cost.
