💼 Professional Summary

I’m someone who finds satisfaction in bringing structure and clarity to anything involving numbers, invoices, or processes. I’ve worked in finance and account management, mainly with German B2B clients, where I learned how to keep financial operations running smoothly — from handling payments and reconciliations to analyzing KPIs and improving workflows. More recently, I’ve worked in a busy coffee shop, which taught me how to stay organized under pressure and communicate clearly.

I enjoy working independently, taking ownership of my tasks, and keeping things organized without needing constant direction. At the same time, I value open, friendly communication and enjoy collaborating with small teams that share ideas and solve problems together.

With a background in Finance (MSc) and hands-on experience across reporting, receivables management, and process optimization, I like combining analytical work with a structured, human approach — where precision and communication go hand in hand.
