What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role focused on FP&A/controlling where I can drive forecasting accuracy, strengthen controls, partner with leadership, and grow in an international environment.

I am a Finance Manager with 5+ years' experience in financial controlling, budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting within international, fast-paced environments. I partner with senior leadership and operations to provide decision support, variance analysis, and long-term financial planning.

I have led end-to-end financial controlling activities including monthly and quarterly closings, Opex control, budget vs actual analysis, and audit coordination, and supported consolidated reporting and compliance. I strengthened internal controls, improved forecast accuracy, and delivered actionable insights through KPI analysis and reconciliations.

Technically, I am an advanced Excel user with experience in ERP systems, SQL, Python (Pandas, NumPy), and visualization tools such as Tableau and Looker Studio. I seek to apply my FP&A and controlling expertise to drive performance, scalability, and robust financial governance in an international organization.
