Back to original languageAbout Zelimkhan
Need to tighten your financial reporting, speed up closes, or automate complex calculations and manual processes? I help finance and fund teams build automated control frameworks and practical tools that secure your numbers while cutting review cycles dramatically.
What sets me apart: I pair solid accounting expertise (Lux GAAP, IFRS, US GAAP) with real technical skill (Power BI, DAX, Power Query, Databricks, Power Platform), with scripting where it adds value. Where most stop at static spreadsheets, I build scalable, auditable tools. I cut reporting review cycles by 80% and replaced fragile Excel processes with automated calculation tools.
Typical missions and deliverables:
- Automation of reporting, controls, and recurring manual processes
- Custom calculation tools and financial modelling (Excel, Power Query)
- Power BI dashboards and data pipelines (Databricks, Power Platform)
- Budget tracking and cross-system monitoring tools
- Financial reporting, reconciliation, and review under multiple GAAPs
- Process and system migration / structuring (eFront, Yardi, Appian, Odoo)
