Summary

As an expert in accounting under IFRS and HGB, I have experience as a specialist in accounting projects, as a management consultant, and as an audit manager in external audits. My strengths are in quickly and independently understanding complex issues, working on them, and presenting results clearly. My main tasks include handling accounting issues on my own, running accounting projects at clients including day-to-day bookkeeping, and preparing monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements. I also advise companies on HGB and IFRS accounting. In addition, I am a reliable contact for your employees, managers, auditors, and advisors.
