Fit-Check

We're a match with at least one of the following:

The main effort of your planning consists of manual data collection – you can barely react quickly to new developments
It takes several days for your report to be ready after data becomes available
Your data is already in a database, but Excel still dominates day-to-day work – and existing dashboards are barely used
You want to see quick results in automation – without compromising on quality

About

Finance expertise meets technical know-how.

For over 6 years, I automated reporting and planning processes in an international corporation and know exactly what really matters. During this time I was involved in implementing over 15 Power BI dashboards, primarily in Finance and Controlling, but also in Logistics, Supply Chain, and Sales.

SAP was always the central system – from BI/BW projects such as an R3P/BW migration for the CO module to the introduction of SAP Analytics Cloud as planning software. There I not only accompanied the project as test manager, but also developed my own planning module with several data models and around 20 planning screens. This practical experience shows me exactly where planning processes still cost unnecessary manual effort today.

My background in Finance & Accounting (Master of Science, JKU Linz) and my controlling experience combined with deep know-how in Power BI and SAC makes me the ideal partner for your company.
