Hello,

ABOUT ME
Finance is where everything comes together. All processes, all decisions, all risks, they ultimately land in the numbers. I know this, because I’ve sat on every side of that table.
As an accountant, controller, finance director and external advisor, I’ve learned to understand organizations from the inside out. I quickly see where things aren’t working, in the processes, in the reporting, in the systems and I know how to fix that sustainably.
What I do: I come in temporarily, but I build for the long term. As interim CFO, Finance Director or Controller, I put structures in place that last. I restructure financial processes, build reports that genuinely support the business, and guide Business Central Finance implementations from start to finish.
My background combines technical depth with strategic insight. As a qualified RA (Dutch CPA) and AA (Dutch CPA for small businesses), I have the professional foundation. With a Master’s in Management, Culture and Change, I understand what is really happening inside an organisation when change is needed. That makes me a sparring partner at every level.
I work with small and mid-sized organizations in healthcare, accountancy and IT. Organizations where finance is taken seriously or where that still needs to be built.
Primarily available for interim assignments. Open to a permanent role when the organisation and the collaboration feel right.

PHONE
In my career I have worked for various companies both as a freelancer and as an employee.
Large and smaller companies such as: Sony, Hoya, Markel, but also companies such as Guerilla Games, Celgene, Getronics, E-bookers, Top Employers and so on, but always with the same starting point: finance as the backbone of the organization.
I’ve been in several roles, as a controller (user and key user), as an auditor (accountant), as a project leader, and as a person who is ultimately responsible (board). Therefore I understand and know which challenges each stakeholder has. This gives me an advantage in my work and I am a sparring partner at every level in an organization.
In addition to process knowledge, I have worked with various Financial software / ERP packages such as Exact, Unit4, Accoutview, Afas, Twinfield, Infor, Trimergo, Navision (Business Central) and Microsoft 365 Finance & Operations. For reporting / consolidation software I have worked with Power BI, Jet Professional, Visionplanner, Lucanet, CaseWare, Make Life Easy, Audition and some others.

WORK EXPERIENCE
“Give me work that suits me and I’ll never have to work again” -Confucius
As of May 2023 I’m working as a interim professional for several projects and client. An example is a Dutch healthcare provider. I have automated the declaration process of health insurers and implemented Business Central. Before that I worked as a Group Manager ERP at Avanade for 11 months. And before that I have worked for 5 years as a Senior Functional Consultant for Broad Horizon. I have been involved in various large and smaller projects including: IT retailers, charity organizations, bicycle retailers, production companies, yacht sellers, service providers and medical device suppliers. In this position I was responsible for the implementation, re-implementation and optimization of Microsoft Business Central (Navision) with a specialization in Finance and stock valuation. As of January 2021 I’ve been involved in an internal project “One F&O”. In this project I’ve supported and trained our internal controllers in the company reporting structure.June
The Finance department is the center where all the results of all activities come together. Unfortunately, this department is not seen as the center of attention in every organization. With my people skills, I build a bridge between the different departments so they can work seamlessly together. I make sure that reliable but most of all timely information is available at any moment. Fast and correct information is essential for every company in the current society.
In addition to my work at Broad Horizon, I have worked as an interim professional on various projects in the field of finance. Automating cash flow overviews, optimizing month-end closings, preparing management reports and reports to other stakeholders are some of the assignments I have performed. I’ve experience with IFRS, US GAAP and DUTCH GAAP reporting.Â
For an extensive summary of my work experience, I refer to my Resume, which can be downloaded with the link below. Under the link My projects you will find an extensive list of the projects I’ve been involved in.
RESUME
FINANCE
The Finance department is in the middle where all the activities of the organization come together. Unfortunately, this department is not seen as the center of attention in every organization. I bring them together.
STAKEHOLDERS
External parties, but also internal people have an interest in the functioning of the organization. As a professional I have a helicopter view and I bring both parties together by connecting them.
REPORTING
Reliable, timely and up-to-date information is becoming increasingly important as the world is constantly changing and companies need to change faster to keep up. With reliable reports I help the business and management to make the right decisions.
EXCELLENCE
Optimize and then excel. Get better at what you do!. To distinguish yourself, organizations will have to excel. This is only possible if you have the right people in the right place. I help organization to keep good and motivated people and help them excel in their job.
PROJECTS
Here you will find an overview of a number of projects that I have worked on.
