What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my financial expertise and offers growth opportunities.

I am a dedicated financial controller with extensive experience in management reporting, budgeting, and business analysis. My career spans over a decade in the finance sector, where I have successfully led teams and projects that have significantly improved financial data automation and reporting processes. I thrive in high-pressure environments and am adept at adapting to new challenges, ensuring that organizational goals are met with precision.

Throughout my tenure at EVRAZ and SAPRUN, I have demonstrated my ability to manage complex projects, such as the implementation of SAP BW in Coal operations, which resulted in an 80% automation of financial data. My strong analytical skills and attention to detail have enabled me to provide valuable insights and support to executive management, enhancing decision-making processes and driving business success.

As I continue to grow in my career, I am eager to leverage my expertise in financial management and reporting to contribute to a dynamic organization that values innovation and efficiency. I am committed to fostering a collaborative team environment and driving continuous improvement in financial operations.
