Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Fabio
I handle monthly controlling for small gastronomy businesses: cafés, specialty roasteries, small restaurant groups, and food importers. You send me your data once a month (cash register export, P&L statement or DATEV export, personnel costs), and I'll send you back a clear report: cost of goods sold and personnel cost ratio with trend, a revenue analysis, an understandable P&L statement, and a personal assessment in plain text. No tool you need to operate, no effort on your side. You get the finished answer.
I have 16 years of experience in the gastronomy industry, including five years in controlling at Bonanza Coffee in Berlin, covering café retail, B2B wholesale, and the roastery. I know this industry from behind the counter and from the back office, not just from a spreadsheet. Plus, an MBA in Finance. Fully remote, in German, English, or Italian.
The tax advisor records the numbers, I interpret them: Where is the margin eroding, or what can you specifically change. Presented in a way that an operator needs it.
