About
As a seasoned Finance Leader with over 15 years of deep-tier expertise in auditing and strategic advisory, I partner with mid-market enterprises and Private Equity-backed portfolio companies. I primarily serve as an Interim CFO or in high-impact C-suite roles, navigating organizations through volatility—whether driven by leadership vacancies, large-scale transformations, or IPO readiness. My mandate is to ensure immediate financial stability while architecting future-proof structures.
My core value proposition rests on three strategic pillars:
Group Accounting & Compliance: I take full ownership of the preparation and auditing of complex statutory and consolidated financial statements under HGB, IFRS, and US GAAP. I act as a high-level peer and primary point of contact for external auditors, ensuring seamless compliance and technical excellence.
Digital Transformation & ERP Ecosystems: I bridge the gap between technical accounting and technological innovation. My track record includes leading the implementation of Tier-1 and Tier-2 ERP systems (e.g., Business Central, NetSuite) and automating reporting cycles through the deployment of AI-driven Power BI dashboards.
Process Optimization & Strategic Leadership: By restructuring finance functions and streamlining closing processes (Fast Close), I significantly reduce reporting cycles. I lead international, cross-functional teams with a results-oriented mindset to deliver on complex, high-stakes projects.
In essence: I reconcile deep balance sheet intelligence with modern IT infrastructure to drive stakeholder transparency and provide actionable insights at the C-suite level.
