Open-minded, adaptable, professional, creative and a very dedicated person with experience in Accounting, FP&A, Treasury, Internal Control implementation, ERP development, Audits for publicly traded companies and temporarily supporting HR. I enrolled a Certified Chartered Accountant program (ACCA). I have an Entrepreneurial mindset and love new challenges. I have enjoyed learning in a start-up-like environment for the last several years and had the chance to learn a 360 degrees accounting overview while doing accounting tasks as well as coordinating a full audit for a publicly-traded company, implement Internal Control for EU operations with my team, managed the treasury and recently started covering for HR Maternity leave. I am driven by a constant need to learn more and improve my skillset while improving my employer’s performances.
