About us
With a career in Accounting, Audit and Finance spanning a period of over 18 years, I now manage my own audit firm and consulting company which offers me the opportunity to utilize my professional financial expertise, extensive business experience, and ability to interact with clients and the business community (in general) on a worldwide basis. . I also aspire to build a successful and challenging career in a competitive atmosphere. My working attitude can best be described with the following keywords: a direct approach, a lot of attention towards people, a strong vision, strong analytical insight, clear communication, a lot of knowledge and working experience (with a desire to share these), creativity, focus on result and above all a lot of enthusiasm. In the many years I have been acting in this line of work I have proved to be able to handle rapidly changing environments.
