Description

I'm a Berlin-based freelance accountant with over six years of experience in Accounts Payable, General Ledger, and financial operations across international companies. With a Bachelor degree (Finance & Accounting), I bring both strong academic knowledge and practical expertise to help businesses maintain accurate, compliant, and efficient financial processes.

I have managed **end-to-end Accounts Payable operations**, including PO-based invoice processing, intercompany transactions, and vendor reconciliations. My work has consistently supported **month- and year-end closings**, covering fixed assets, prepaids, allocations, accruals, and bank reconciliations while ensuring strict **SOX compliance**. I also assist with **audit preparation**, providing clear documentation and reporting.

In my roles at Planet Labs Germany**, **Contentful GmbH**, and **Atheneum Partners**, I successfully delivered finance automation projects, reducing manual workload and improving process efficiency. Skilled in **ERP and finance tools such as Coupa, Oracle NetSuite, SAP 4 HANA (basic), Simba, Workday, and Bill.com, I combine technology with finance expertise to streamline workflows.

Fluent in English and proficient in German (B1)**, I collaborate effectively in multicultural environments. I am available for **short-term projects, interim roles, or long-term freelance support to help businesses achieve reliable financial control.
