Bio
Sophie Kurinckx
Jim used to work as a consultant in accounting for the Irish subsidiary of Banijay Group. He reported under IFRS to the Group on a monthly basis and did the day to day accounting of the company, managing also the financing, fiscal issues and other request from the management. He really had the role of a CFO.
Frederic BALMARY
I really appreciated Jim’s personable approach, professional skill and deep knowledge of TV production finances. Over a period of several years It was a pleasure to work with Jim at Banijay Group. Jim is definitely some to rely upon.
Niall O'Driscoll
Jim’s level of expertise, and good humour, brought stability to our finance function during a time of rapid growth, after a time when it had been a bit of a quagmire. Jim helped us establish strong internal controls and processes as well as identifying efficiencies and ways to increase value. Once established, he helped facilitate our international growth by sourcing and co-ordinating the delivery of international tax advice with his colleagues at GT. As happy as we are with GT, we relied heavily on Jim who will be tough to replace. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
