Account & finance professional transitioning into FP&A and strategic controlling to drive data-led decisions.

What I'm looking for

I want to move into FP&A and Controlling, bringing my audit and treasury experience into strategic work. I’m looking for a role where I can improve decision-making through forecasting, financial analysis, and clear, automated reporting.

I’m an experienced accounting, finance, and business intelligence professional with hands-on exposure to financial statement analysis, risk identification, and valuation support. In my current role at PwC Luxembourg, I analyze client financial statements and help verify transactions and compliance with IFRS and Lux GAAP.

Previously, at Sonae MC, I combined treasury work with business intelligence—developing and maintaining Power BI dashboards, building data models with DAX, and automating reporting with SQL, Power Query, and Excel. I also led treasury reporting, forecasting, and monitoring across group companies, identifying weekly deviations and implementing adjustments to support operational needs.

My foundation came from an Accounting Trainee role at Vicaima Madeiras using SAP for bookkeeping and reconciliations. I’m now strongly focused on advancing into Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A), Controlling, or other strategic roles where I can contribute to decision-making through rigorous analysis, clear reporting, and actionable insights.
