Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Christian
I help founders and SMEs to establish their ventures on a solid financial and strategic foundation – with a clear focus on results that truly count: bankable financial plans, well-thought-out business plans, and lean processes.
After nearly 7 years as a management consultant at KPMG (Public Sector & Finance Advisory), I have been working as a freelance consultant since 2017 – BAFA-certified and PMP-certified. My clients range from sole founders to medium-sized companies and corporations like SEFE GmbH (formerly Gazprom Germania).
My offer: professional financial planning for bank discussions, KfW applications, and investor presentations, business plan creation, process optimization, and general management consulting for SMEs. I combine consulting know-how at a large corporation level with a pragmatic view of what is truly feasible in the SME sector.
