About David

I support general management, CFOs, and groups in their challenges of closing, consolidation, IFRS, fast close, and finance transformation, particularly in SAP environments (FI/CO / S/4HANA).

My role: to secure your closings, make your figures reliable, accelerate your cycles, structure your finance function, and take over during transition periods.

I typically get involved when:

you need to implement or validate consolidation (intercos, scope, IFRS adjustments)
you are changing ERPs
your fast close is too slow or unstable
you have a need for a transitional CFO / Finance Director (replacement, growth, crisis, build-up) or accounting staff
you have a SAP finance project and want to secure closing and reporting

Frequent deliverables:

Implementation of a fast close process (planning, cut-off, controls, review)
Account review
Production of financial statements
Production or redesign of a consolidation package (IFRS, intercos, scope changes)
Writing IFRS memos and adjustments (standards, options, impacts)
Structuring CFO reporting (KPIs, performance, cash)
Scoping / optimization of finance processes under SAP FI/CO

What sets me apart:

A “hands-on CFO” approach: I take responsibility, I don't just advise
Accounting expert rigor: reliable, auditable, defensible figures
Ability to deliver quickly in demanding environments (group, investors, audit)

If you have a consolidation, IFRS, or fast close challenge, or a need for transitional CFO management, I can intervene quickly.
