About Nicolas
I help mid-sized companies and large enterprises stabilize high-stakes financial operations, secure lagging ERP rollouts, and build automated reporting environments. Operating as a plug-and-play interim asset, I bring a rare dual competence to your projects: combining heavy financial controlling expertise with deep technical capabilities in data engineering and system architectures.
What makes me stand out is my ability to translate seamlessly between the CFO’s office and IT development teams. I don't just look at accounting figures; I build the data pipelines, SQL databases, and Power BI setups required to turn complex system data into clear financial transparency.
Types of projects and deliverables I handle:
- Interim Management & Leadership: Bridging sudden vacancies in corporate finance teams.
- ERP Migrations & Transformations: Leading finance/controlling streams during major rollouts (MS Dynamics 365 BC/F&O, Abacus, Infor M3).
- Financial Automation: Replacing manual workflows with dynamic dashboards and analytics (Power BI, DAX, SQL, Python).
- Operational Excellence: Month-end group closings, margin/profitability analysis, and cost allocation models.
