As a consultant with Big 4 experience and a proven track record in the financial services sector, I bring a strong combination of analytical expertise, practical knowledge, and structured problem-solving skills. My academic background in auditing and finance, combined with hands-on project experience in accounting, auditing, controlling, and reporting, allows me to deliver results that are both reliable and value-adding.

Over the past years, I have been involved in audit and assurance engagements, supporting the review of financial statements under IFRS and HGB and gaining in-depth insight into the structures of banks, insurers, and financial institutions. This foundation has equipped me with a detailed understanding of balance sheet analysis, valuation approaches, risk assessment, and regulatory frameworks.

In addition, I have expanded my profile through roles in financial controlling and analysis, where I focused on reporting processes, financial planning, and optimization of workflows. I have successfully contributed to the design of reporting structures, the evaluation of financial data, and the implementation of process improvements that enhanced transparency and efficiency.

My project experience also includes process optimization and strategic planning in finance-related functions. This involves identifying inefficiencies, developing pragmatic solutions, and supporting management in the implementation of sustainable improvements. I combine a methodical approach with a clear focus on practical execution.

Core competencies include:
• Auditing of annual and consolidated financial statements (IFRS/HGB)
• Financial analysis, reporting, and controlling
• Accounting for banks and insurance companies
• Process optimization in finance and accounting functions
• Preparation of financial data and analytical evaluations

My working style is characterized by precision, reliability, and clear communication. I am used to delivering under tight deadlines and within complex project structures while maintaining high quality standards. At the same time, I value transparent collaboration and proactive problem-solving, which ensures smooth integration into existing teams and processes.

With a strong foundation in the financial services industry, combined with consulting experience in demanding environments, I am able to support projects ranging from audit and accounting tasks to reporting, analysis, and process improvement initiatives.

I am open to freelance projects across the financial sector and look forward to contributing my expertise in a way that creates measurable value for clients.
