What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior FP&A/corporate finance role where I can own budgeting, IFRS reporting, and model integrity—building driver-based forecasts and scenario analysis that directly improve capital, cost, and planning decisions.

I’m a senior corporate finance & FP&A professional with 8+ years of experience turning complex business data into decision-ready financial models. I’m especially strong at building FAST standard 3-statement architectures, driver-based forecasting engines, and DCF valuations, while also stress-testing assumptions through rigorous scenario and sensitivity work.

In my finance roles, I oversee multi-entity IFRS operations, group-level budgeting, and high-level reporting. I’ve run annual statutory Big 4 audits end-to-end, streamlining complex workflows and resolving reporting issues quickly—plus I’ve driven cost-efficiency initiatives, including debt-to-equity restructuring that reduced financing costs by €50k annually.

As a freelance strategic financial modeler, I complete full-cycle 3-statement development for startups and SMEs and perform integrity audits on legacy models to eliminate spaghetti logic and structural imbalances. Parallel to that, I build proprietary valuation frameworks and algorithmic trading research for digital assets using Python, R, MATLAB, and Pine Script, aiming to optimize portfolio performance while managing volatility.
