What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a Head of Finance role with full financial architecture ownership across a multi-entity business, partnering directly with founders. I want responsibility for consolidated revenue architecture, tax/controls, and AI-native finance workflows.

I’m a finance leader with 14 years of experience across investment banking, CFO-level operations, multi-entity controlling across 6 European markets, and FP&A at a digital subscription business. I build financial operating systems from scratch and own them end-to-end—from multi-jurisdiction tax compliance to consolidated revenue architecture across multiple channels and entities.

I’ve integrated AI natively into monthly close and FP&A, having built and deployed 8+ AI-powered finance tools in production. At YAZIO, I implemented Abacum as the core planning tool and improved forecasting accuracy by 15%, while also building a consolidated Revenue Bookings Monitor and automating Budget vs Actual workflows; I reduced financial discrepancies by 20% through comprehensive internal controls. Previously, I owned multi-entity financial operations for 6 legal entities, identified $75K in annual revenue leakage, reduced incorrect invoice generation by 77%, and improved gross margin by 200bps—always focusing on decision-grade reporting and scalable controls.
