Senior Interim Manager | Expert for SAP S/4HANA Transformation & Site Controlling
With over 15 years of experience in financial management, international controlling, and large-volume CAPEX & OPEX management (> EUR 10 million), I support companies in efficiently designing complex financial processes. My expertise lies in guiding SAP S/4HANA transformations and operationally managing site controlling.
My core competencies at a glance:
International Accounting: In-depth knowledge of IFRS and US-GAAP, including monthly and annual financial statements and group reporting.
KPI Steering & Performance: Certified expertise in optimizing ROCE (Return on Capital Employed), CCR (Cash Conversion Rate), and Net Working Capital Management.
Specialized Areas: Proficient in Revenue Recognition (Siemens standard revenue recognition), POC accounting, and cash flow statements.
Governance & Compliance: Many years of experience with SOX 404 (Sarbanes-Oxley Act) and establishing Internal Control Systems (IKS).
Thanks to my solid education and numerous professional certifications (including from Siemens AG), I offer an extremely short onboarding time and immediate operational support. I act as the interface between IT (SAP CO/FI) and the business to bring transparency to financial figures and drive strategic decisions.
