What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own German and US cross-border tax compliance end-to-end, contribute to international advisory, and grow my US CPA expertise—using strong quality review, DATEV-style workflows, and client-focused communication.

I’m an internationally experienced Tax & Accounting professional with 5+ years across Big 4 firms (Deloitte USI, EY GDS) and corporate environments. I specialize in German individual and corporate taxation and US corporate tax compliance, and I’m currently pursuing the US CPA qualification to deepen my practitioner-level capability across DATEV, QuickBooks, and Xero.

I’ve led teams and managed multi-jurisdictional tax filings with a quality-review discipline, including preparing/reviewing German returns (ESt 1A) and coordinating complex US tax adjustments with senior CPAs. In my current role, I manage full sets of books for international clients, deliver unaudited financial statements, support payroll, and drive continuous improvement by partnering with stakeholders and consultants to resolve client queries and strengthen reporting processes.
