About Borja

I am an economic-financial consultant specializing in the management and justification of national, European, and international grants, with over 10 years of experience working with public bodies, NGOs, and companies.

I currently collaborate in the economic review of public aid applications at the Secretariat of State for Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence (SEDIA), analyzing expense eligibility, supporting documentation, and financial compliance of projects.

Throughout my career, I have worked on projects funded by the European Union, AECID, and other international funders, including projects exceeding 25 million euros. My experience includes budget preparation, economic project monitoring, document organization, and support in financial audits.

I can help you with:

• Economic review of grants and expense eligibility
• Preparation and review of project budgets
• Periodic economic monitoring and financial reporting
• Document preparation for audits
• Design of Excel tools for budget control

I work rigorously, organized, and with a focus on regulatory compliance, helping to reduce financial risks and facilitate work with funders and auditors.

I offer flexible remote collaboration, adapted to occasional or ongoing needs.
