Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

With over 14 years of experience in finance-focused projects (accounting & controlling), I have supported the financial departments of large corporations in transforming their business through information systems.

I specialize in the SAP ERP system and have expertise in configuring finance modules (AP, AR, AA, GL, CO, COPA, COPC) as well as integration with MM, SD, and SAP CAR modules. This allows me to better advise my clients on best practices.

I have multi-sector experience and speak French, English, and Italian.
