Financial Controller and reporting specialist transforming complex financial data into real-time dashboards for leadership decisions.
SloveniaWhat I'm looking for
I build financial reporting systems that people actually use. Over the past three years at Zebra BI, I moved from data entry to owning the financial reporting function—preparing Trial Balance and P&L statements, managing accounts receivable, and delivering actionable insights to senior stakeholders.
In my day-to-day, I prepare and analyze Trial Balance and P&L statements, maintain AR aging reports, and manage Chargebee subscription invoicing across new deals, upsells, downsells, and cancellations to ensure accurate revenue recognition. I also build interactive Power BI dashboards (using Zebra BI visuals) that give leadership a real-time view of business performance, and I work closely with Sales and Finance to keep Chargebee accurate and reconciled so reporting is always reliable.
