Introduction

I am a team player with an ability to see solutions where others only see problems. I am quick to familiarize myself with new setups and adapt solutions to best fit the current situation. Both colleagues and clients see me as an easy going and sociable person and I work well in all social situations.

I have great knowledge within Business Intelligence, Financial Processes, Cognos TM1, Coda, SSIS, SSRS and I am a fast learner when it comes to new systems. I have six years international experience from working and studying outside of Sweden.

Career History

The EF group in Asia consists of more than 60 companies in twelve Asian countries. I was responsible for the finance IT department where I worked in projects with different integration issues such as:

1. Moved invoice procedure from the finance system Coda to the sales system Salesforce.
   Moving the responsibility from the finance department to the sales department improved invoice quality and standardized the followup procedures for unpaid invoices.
2. Programed customized income recognition in VBA. 
   Moved the income recognition from a manual excel system improving accuracy and reliability.
3. Customized asset handling in the Coda e-assets module. 
   In order to automate the asset write-offs and to better accommodate for country specific rules.

I learned a lot about accounting and finance reporting.
