What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a long-term hybrid controlling or financial analysis role within 200 km of Ludwigshafen, where I can contribute budget oversight, cost management, reporting, and cross-functional project coordination.

At BASF Services Europe, I prepared consolidated analysis and reporting for an €8 million Indirect Tax budget, managed FTE cost allocations across EMEA, and supported audits, contracts, and cost accounting teams.

Previously, I managed approximately USD 15 million in public financing and financial oversight for 40 civil construction projects at Guaratinguetá City Hall, from budgeting and procurement support through fund accountability. I bring over 10 years of experience in controlling, cost management, reporting, and cross-functional project coordination.
