About Norbert

With nearly 10 years of experience in international and industrial groups, I assist SMEs and mid-sized companies in structuring their financial management and improving their performance.

I intervene particularly when leaders need to better understand their profitability, structure their reporting, manage their inventory and cash flow, or implement reliable indicators to support their growth.

My experience covers manufacturing, supply chain, pharmaceuticals, and international multi-entity environments.

I support my clients on:
• Management control
• Financial reporting and dashboards
• Budgeting, forecasting, and business plans
• Profitability and margin analysis
• Working capital management and inventory valuation
• Group reporting and consolidation
• Optimization of finance processes and ERP (SAP, Sage X3, Oracle, Tagetik, Power BI)

My approach is pragmatic: to provide leaders with reliable data and concrete management tools for better decision-making.
