Description

I help growing companies improve financial reporting, cash-flow visibility and finance processes, giving CEOs and management teams clearer numbers for decision-making.

I’m a senior finance professional with 15+ years of experience across accounting, reporting, consolidation, controls, cash flow, working capital and process improvement. I’ve worked in international and fast changing environments, including listed groups, private equity backed companies and multi entity structures.

My strength is bringing structure to finance teams that are dealing with growth, complexity or messy processes. My goal is always to build simple, reliable routines that make finance less dependent on individuals and more useful for management.

Typical areas where I can help:

Financial reporting & management packs

Clear monthly reporting packs with P&L, cash, working capital, KPIs, variance analysis and management comments.

Cash flow forecasting & liquidity visibility

Short-term cash-flow forecasts, weekly cash routines, liquidity follow-up and visibility over risks, commitments and collections.

Month-end close improvement

Review and improvement of closing routines, ownership, deadlines, reconciliations and reporting quality.

Finance process improvement & controls

Practical review of finance routines across collections, AP, intercompany, reporting and approvals, with a clear improvement roadmap.

Excel financial models & dashboards

Simple and reliable Excel models for reporting, forecasting, cash flow, working capital and decision-making.

Working capital visibility

Clear follow-up of receivables, payables, collections, overdue balances and cash impact.

IFRS, consolidation & reporting support

Support with consolidation routines, reporting packages, intercompany follow-up, IFRS financial statements and audit preparation.
