About

When you have insufficient funds in the bank to buy something your business really needs, or it is unclear when you will have enough money to purchase a machine that will grow your business or settle your accounts with your most important supplier, you need a solution for this. Lacking financial means can hurt your business reputation but also you might also miss opportunities to grow your business because you cannot invest when you want to. Together with you, we can address these issues and come up with a planning and financial structure how to keep enough liquidity to run your business, enabling you to make the investments at the moment you decide it is necessary. It is all about reaching the goal you set as a entrepreneur and staying in the position to be able to act when opportunities arise. I can do this in the capacity as consultant but also as an interim manager (part time) CFO/Finance Director. My skills are: - Experienced in building and implementing appropriate capital structures and finance - High level of knowledge in Finance & Business analysis - Successful in restructuring companies and integrating acquired portfolios - Experienced Team Manager, successful in managing growing portfolios and building teams with a Can Do mentality, - Communicating appropriately to different stakeholders like board of directors, management teams and operational teams, -Experienced Fundraiser on different levels - Pragmatic in daily business, working solution-oriented with a quick grasp of the issues at hand in 4 different languages - Keeping focus on the issue at hand, not losing the big picture out of sight - Highly experienced Excel User You can reach me under +49 17643257186.
