Summary
With my extensive experience in finance and accounting and my passion for building efficient financial structures, I am available as a specialist for projects or interim positions.
Throughout my career in audit and in international corporations (start-ups, scale-ups, publicly listed companies), I have led monthly, annual, and consolidated financial reporting (IFRS, HGB), built controlling and FP&A structures, prepared business plans and cash flow projections, and successfully implemented financial processes and tools.
My ambition is to create transparency and act as a sparring partner for finance leads and management to support sustainable growth. I look forward to contributing my expertise and hands-on mentality while accompanying your organization on its financial journey.
