What I'm looking for

I seek finance roles focused on valuation, transaction advisory or investment analysis with opportunities to apply modeling, automation and stakeholder collaboration while growing technically.

I am a Bachelor of Business Studies candidate at a top-tier German business school with strong achievements in quantitative analytics, corporate finance and portfolio management. I combine rigorous academic training (Top 5% cohort; GPA 3.7/4.0) with practical experience in audit, tax advisory, and transaction-related valuation procedures.

During a recent internship I performed financial statement analysis for mid-market clients, supported PPA and impairment-related workstreams, and developed an Excel-VBA automation that cut recurring real-estate tax reporting time by 90%, saving roughly 40 hours per month. I have led teams in student finance organizations and managed mock portfolios, applying DCF, comparables and basic LBO logic to produce actionable investment recommendations.

I am results-oriented, experienced in stakeholder negotiation and governance, and eager to contribute analytical rigor, process improvements and valuation expertise to finance, investment or consulting roles while continuing to expand my technical toolkit in Python and SQL.
