Nina rebooted and optimized all the financial operations of our small, multi-country growth company over a period of three years, literally rescuing our business. She is extremely well positioned to refine and execute financial management projects in wide array of organizations. She provides a deep technical knowledge of accounting, including management at a multi-country level, as well as strong ability to support central financial reporting and manage complex cash flows. Completely bilingual, Nina has a high degree of comfort with systems, with sophisticated compliance issues, and with coordinating internal and external resources to achieve results. She will bring rigor in project development and problem solving, a practical approach in developing and executing scopes of work, and a strong curiosity about business models to any project she takes.
