Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I support companies in reliably bringing their financial statements "to the road" – on time, audit-proof, and without stress for the team.

As a freelance interim accountant with over 20 years of experience in HGB and IFRS financial statements, I step in precisely where things get tight: in monthly, quarterly, and annual closing, with complex issues (intercompany, fund/property companies, reporting, VAT), and at the interface with auditors and tax advisors.

What I specifically help with:

• Taking over and relieving workload during peak times or vacancies in accounting

• Ensuring financial statements according to HGB/IFRS – also in the group and KVG/real estate environment

• Analysis and optimization of accounting processes (Fast Close, IKS, standardization of workflows, IKS)

• Establishing clear responsibilities, checklists, and documentation for recurring closings

Industry focus: Real Estate & Funds (KVG), Industry, Pharma/Life Sciences, IT/Software, and Financial Services.

I prefer to work remotely, with clear communication, high reliability, and a focus on results rather than "busy work".

Availability: from February 2026 (35-40 hours/week), possibly earlier by arrangement (remote-first).

References: I will gladly send you current written references (2025+2024) upon request.
