Socrate Tellier

Socrate Tellier is the co-founder and CEO of LeanPay, the SaaS solution that helps SMEs, mid-sized companies and large groups regain control of their receivables and manage cash flow with precision.

A finance graduate from ESCP Business School, he began his career at LVMH as a Regional Finance Controller. This experience gave him a deep understanding of the challenges of accounts receivable management, cash control and liquidity balance within organisations.

Faced with the complexity and lack of effective tools to secure payments and manage collections efficiently, Socrate co-founded LeanPay with a simple conviction: finance teams should rely on clear, automated and data-driven processes to gain both time and visibility.

Working closely with CFOs and Credit Managers, he shares in his articles a practical approach to cash management and collections: how to structure the accounts receivable process, better anticipate late payments, and turn cash management into a strategic performance driver.

His journey from finance professional to entrepreneur shapes a pragmatic vision, making cash management smoother, more measurable and better aligned with business growth.
