What I'm looking for

I am looking for finance or consulting roles that leverage financial analysis, reporting optimization and cross-functional teamwork, with opportunities for mentorship and measurable impact.

I am an Economics graduate from Nazarbayev University with hands-on experience in finance, accounting, consulting and entrepreneurship. I have led financial process improvements at KONE, managed budgeting and forecasting workstreams, and founded and scaled an online retail business that grew revenue 60% within six months.

I combine technical skills in Excel, SQL and Python with practical accounting training (KPMG, CFI, SAP) and strong cross-cultural communication in Kazakh, Russian, English and basic Korean. I seek roles where I can apply rigorous financial analysis, optimize reporting processes, and contribute to strategic decisions in a collaborative environment.
