What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance/controlling role where I can lead FP&A, improve forecasting and transparency, and drive process optimization and finance transformation—partnering with cross-functional teams and supporting others as we create measurable value.

I’m a finance and controlling professional focused on FP&A and business controlling. In my current role (Manager Business Controlling / FP&A), I manage end-to-end monthly financial reporting to deliver actionable insights for strategic decision-making, including budgeting, forecasting, and cost planning.

I’ve built stronger performance management through bottom-up budgeting to improve forecast accuracy and transparency, and I’ve implemented project controlling frameworks (including project set-up) to enable early identification of budget deviations and performance issues. I also established sales pipeline controlling processes and contribute to finance transformation and process optimization, and I’ve supported analytics and SAP modernization through a Power BI project tracking tool and work toward SAP S/4HANA migration.
