What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can manage accounting and business operations end-to-end—supporting teams, improving processes, and using analysis to drive decisions in a collaborative environment with clear growth opportunities.

I’m an accountant and business administrator with 8 years of experience, bringing a proactive, dynamic approach and a strong sense of teamwork. I’m focused on turning day-to-day financial work into reliable insights for better decisions.

Since 2020, I’ve worked as a Business Consultant and Accountant at BBG GmbH, overseeing financial and business administrative tasks for a team of IT engineer freelancers (about 15 members). I manage invoicing, track swift payments, handle freelancer onboarding, and have restructured the freelancer part of the company to improve efficiency and streamline processes.

Earlier, as a Business and Financial Officer, I managed financial operations, budgeting, strategic planning, and risk management—while also strengthening process execution across banking, payroll, tax/social declarations, cash and bank reconciliations, and customer follow-ups. My background also includes accountant responsibilities at MCI and finance/administrative internships where I supported procurement, inventory management, and daily reporting.
