What I'm looking for

I seek a role in financial or management control where I can lead reporting, improve processes, support ERP projects, and drive data-informed decisions.

I am a business controller and financial analyst with deep experience in financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting and audit across corporate and group environments. I combine a top-level academic background in Business Administration with hands-on roles in reporting, consolidation and transaction integrations.

At VetPartners and Rekeep I led reporting to an English parent, supported budget and cash-forecast processes, participated in KPI identification and implemented monitoring systems, and contributed to ERP (Navision) rollouts and post-acquisition integrations. Previously at Deloitte I performed external audits, risk and internal control assessments, and supervised audit teams to meet tight deadlines.

I work with SAP and Navision, advanced Microsoft Office skills, foundational R and Python, and intermediate Power BI; I bring a pragmatic problem-solving approach, attention to detail, and a collaborative mindset to streamline processes and support data-driven decisions.
