What I'm looking for

I’m looking for Finance, FP&A, Corporate Finance, or Strategic Finance roles where I can improve reporting processes, deliver valuation and forecasting insights, and directly support executive decision-making—ideally with flexibility for remote work.

I’m a Finance professional with Big 4 audit experience and investment banking exposure across UBS, Schroders, BBVA, and Barclays. I focus on turning complex financial data into clear insights through financial reporting, valuation testing, forecasting, and data analytics.

As an Audit Senior at Ernst & Young in Zurich, I lead end-to-end statutory audits of quarterly and annual financial statements for banking and asset management clients. I perform valuation and fair value testing across 100+ fixed income and derivative instruments under IFRS 9, strengthening audit quality and decision-ready reporting.

I also engineer practical analytics workflows to improve speed and accuracy. For example, I built an Alteryx workflow reconciling 10k+ debt issuances against third-party data, uncovering 100+ discrepancies and reducing audit completion time by 15%.

Earlier roles strengthened my ability to support executives with actionable reporting—delivering daily P&L analysis and executive reporting, driving profitability forecasting, and leading stress testing and scenario analysis frameworks. I’m now seeking Finance, FP&A, Corporate Finance, or Strategic Finance opportunities where I can keep improving reporting processes and support leadership decisions with rigorous analysis.
