What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a challenging role where I can grow, solve problems, and contribute strategically to the business. I value continuous learning and improvement, and ideally seek a position with at least 2 days of remote work or fully remote

Currently, I serve as the Finance Controller at Toqio, a fintech scale-up, where I lead end-to-end accounting operations and partner closely with the Head of Finance on strategic initiatives like budgeting, forecasting, and securing public funding (CDTI, CPP, R&D).

Before joining Toqio, I worked in multinational firms like Mercedes-Benz and Accenture, where I led AP operations, offshore coordination, and system reconciliations during migrations. My experience spans IFRS and Spanish GAAP, with hands-on knowledge of tools like Excel, SAP, Xero, and Sage.
