About Christoph

As an experienced Finance Leader with over 15 years of expertise in controlling, reporting, and strategic financial planning, I bring in-depth knowledge from international projects. I have led teams across multiple European locations, optimized monthly and quarterly reports, created KPI-driven analyses, conducted project-based cost analyses with D365, and implemented forecasting. Additionally, I have experience in M&A, process optimization, SOX and US GAAP compliance, ESG reporting, and managing day-to-day operations. I actively engage with stakeholders to support data-driven decisions and create sustainable added value. Even without prior freelance experience, I guarantee professionalism, quick onboarding, and measurable results for new clients.
