Profile

Combining leadership with operational depth – and improving processes so that they hold after my mandate.

Interim leader for finance and accounting with over 15 years of experience – from mid-sized companies to international corporations. I take on responsibility where teams need leadership, processes are unstable or a key position has to be filled at short notice.

Assignments

When to call me

Most recently I led an accounting team of 20 people at Live Nation through an ongoing transformation. Referees confirm fast onboarding, tangible results and stable handovers – on an equal footing with management, CFOs, international hubs and shared service centers.

01

A leadership or key position in finance or accounting is vacant and has to be filled quickly and reliably.

02

An accounting team needs leadership, structure and clear standards.

03

ERP rollout, system change or shared-services transition: processes have to be tested, stabilized and redesigned.

04

Reporting, cash management and controls lack transparency and need to be rebuilt.

05

Finance processes are to be harmonized across several entities.

06

Finance positions remain vacant: processes should be automated rather than simply refilled.

Expertise

What I bring

01

Leadership & organization

Professional and line leadership of teams of up to 20 people, including in times of change. Stabilizing, onboarding and developing interim and permanent teams, alignment with management, CFOs, hubs and shared service centers.

02

Accounting & closing

Accounts payable and receivable, payments, dunning and collections, cash reporting. Contribution to monthly and annual closings under HGB and IFRS; reporting standards, controls and process documentation that hold up after the mandate.

03

Systems & transformation

SAP S/4HANA key user and tester, shared-services transition and process harmonization across several entities and countries, digitalization of invoice approval and payment processes.

04

ERP landscape

SAP FI/CO, MM, VIM, Business One · Oracle E-Business Suite and Fusion · Microsoft Dynamics 365 / Business Central (Navision) · abas ERP · DATEV.

05

Automation with navyra.finance

Never a must, always an option – commissioned separately and disclosed openly: mapping processes at document level and prioritizing them (assessment in three weeks), automating incoming invoices, approvals, payment matching and dunning directly in the ERP, accelerating the close (fast close).
