What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers opportunities for professional growth, collaboration, and impactful contributions in financial reporting and advisory.

I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and finance professional with over five years of international experience in audit, assurance, and financial advisory services at Big 4 firms including PwC, EY, and Grant Thornton. My specialization in IFRS, US GAAP, HGB, and Turkish GAAP has equipped me with the skills to handle complex financial reporting and compliance challenges. I have successfully led and contributed to more than 40 audit and advisory projects across various industries, demonstrating my ability to support multinational corporations and SMEs in achieving their financial goals.

My hands-on experience includes preparing financial statements, budgeting, forecasting, and compliance with international accounting standards. I have a proven track record in leading teams, optimizing financial processes, and enhancing reporting accuracy. Currently pursuing the ACCA qualification, I am committed to continuous professional development and staying abreast of industry trends. I combine a global mindset with strong stakeholder collaboration, making me a valuable asset for roles in financial reporting, technical accounting, and finance transformation.
