About Fermin

I support SMEs and international organizations in creating clarity, structure and reliability in their financial processes.

As an external Controller, Reporting Specialist and ICS advisor, I help companies build the foundations they need for better decisions, transparency and sustainable growth.

My expertise includes:
• Controlling & management reporting
• KPI definition & reporting frameworks
• Budgeting & forecasting
• Profitability & performance analysis
• Cashflow & working capital monitoring
• Internal Control System (ICS) design, documentation & testing
• Optimizing finance processes and ensuring compliance

ICS is often underestimated — but a strong control environment is key to producing reliable numbers, reducing operational risk and supporting the management’s responsibilities. I have experience designing, improving and operationalizing ICS elements in real-world environments, from SMEs to group structures.

My approach is pragmatic and collaborative:
I turn complex data and processes into something understandable, usable and actionable — always aligned with the realities of day-to-day business.

If your company needs clearer reporting, stronger financial processes, or temporary Controlling support, I’d be happy to connect.
