Dimitar Kurtev

I’m a results-driven finance and risk advisory professional with 10+ years of experience delivering multi-million-dollar cost savings and strengthening risk, compliance, and internal controls across Big Four firms, Fortune 500 corporations, and global management consultancies in the United States and Europe. I’m known for optimizing processes, leading cross-functional teams, and managing senior stakeholder relationships with integrity, professionalism, and ethical conduct. My expertise spans risk and compliance, internal audit, and financial analysis—grounded in practical delivery and measurable outcomes.

In my recent role as Associate Manager, I led and mentored a team of 30 audit and compliance professionals across 100+ concurrent client engagements, driving delivery excellence through adherence to regulatory standards, timelines, and firm-wide quality benchmarks. Previously, at Baringa, I delivered £2.7M in cost savings in an 8-week engagement and built a five-year financial cost model that supported an insourcing decision projected to generate an estimated £1.8M over five years. Earlier roles included internal audit leadership at Microsoft (including cloud service provider contractual agreement audits and anti-trust regulatory compliance control assessments) and finance/cost-control work at Amazon, where I designed capex control processes and helped drive $250K in cost savings through AWS usage anomaly detection and an AWS service P&L review cadence.
