About Mark

I support companies as an Interim Finance Manager or Senior Controller when financial structures need to be stabilized, professionalized, or further developed. I combine operational finance expertise with modern controlling logic and a clear focus on efficient processes, reliable figures, and sustainable structures.

With several years of experience in leadership and non-leadership roles, I have built finance and back-office departments, restructured reporting landscapes, and modernized data and process architectures. I combine structured, analytical work with a pragmatic, business-oriented approach that quickly generates results – whether in day-to-day operations or during transformation phases.

How I support companies:
– Operational responsibility for Finance/Controlling/Back-office teams
– Building scalable finance processes in startups, scale-ups & established companies
– Stabilizing and further developing finance and other structures
– Optimizing forecast, budget, and monthly closing processes
– Analyzing business units, profitability, and cash flows
– Modernizing reporting landscapes (Excel/Power BI)

Typical areas of engagement:
– Interim Finance Manager/Interim Senior Controller
– Finance Transformation & Process Optimization
– Bridging personnel gaps or leadership changes
– Professionalizing reporting and controlling structures
– Building scalable finance setups during growth or change phases

I translate complex issues into understandable, manageable forms and further develop finance structures so they function long-term – efficiently, transparently, and robustly.

I stand for quick onboarding, high reliability, and pragmatic implementation. My goal is to create clarity quickly, relieve teams, and achieve measurable progress in the finance and back-office areas.
