About us
Since 2001, Lisan Finance has been supporting tech entrepreneurs with tailored CFO expertise, designed for each stage of their growth: launch, fund-raising, structuring, internationalization, and exit. More than just a service provider, Lisan acts as a true strategic co-pilot, providing financial guidance, team structuring, and legal and tax compliance in both France and the United States. With over 700 startups supported and offices in San Francisco (since 2016) and New York (since 2017), Lisan Finance is now a key player in the transatlantic tech ecosystem. In 2024, Baptiste Laffond, who previously headed the US subsidiary, took over as head of operations in France and the US with a clear ambition: to make Lisan Finance the go-to CFO partner for high-impact, high-growth startups.
