Financial strategy consulting
for your company
for your company
Grow fast and make it matter
Maintain your company’s competitive advantage even in growth phases. With a well-established financial organization in the background, which
• minimizes risks
• brings reliability with standard processes
• meets the growth requirements of your company
Your mission becomes my mission. Therefore, especially in the beginning, personal discussions with the management team and the employees responsible are important to me. I want to understand and empathize with your organization, challenges and culture. Only in this way can we find the tools that make the most sense in your situation. And that the solutions fit your company.
Fail fast and learn
The pace of development is fast. Especially in the industries I advise: IT, digital and media, Classifieds, Proptech and Online Marketplace Business. A fast-learning organization is therefore important. My approach: knowledge should grow and stay in your company, so that you are independent and flexible and can develop sustainably with your company.
Accompany. Guide. Execute.
So that your company can grow
Just passing on theoretical knowledge is not enough for me. I lend a hand and look for solutions that you can implement with your team in daily business and that fit into your organization.
My focus is on small and medium-sized companies in the IT, digital and media industries. My consulting assignments are temporary, more intensive in the beginning, on-site or remote –as it works best for both sides. In the following areas I advise and accompany you and your company.
Grow: Minimize risks
Are you about to take the next step in growing your business? Make sure you have clear financial plans and minimize risks. In conversations with management and the responsible employees I ask critical questions. I coach at points where it is desired. Together we sharpen viable go-to-market strategies and financial plans so that you can present yourself to investors in a focused and confident manner.

Settle down: Establish financial structures
Establish clear financial and governance structures in your organization. The earlier, the better. I support you in defining meaningful KPIs, setting up detailed financial reporting, and helping to establish the finance department. For this purpose, we determine necessary requirements and I help you with the creation of job profiles and set-up for recruiting.

Management sparring: having a trusted partner
In times of change, even CEOs and top managers need a sparring partner. External support is often a good choice. I see myself as a 1:1 sparring partner for a limited period of time, a shadow on the job. I advise you on strategic decisions. And I take financial tasks off your hands to free you up so that you can concentrate on your company’s vision and development.

Long lasting support
For a lasting impact I may also provide longer term support and consulting. For example, as a partner to your Finance & Controlling department. Or in the form of an advisory or supervisory board mandate. I bring my experience in investor relations to bear at the interface between companies and investors.
