About Saad

I'm a senior finance and accounting professional with 10+ years of experience across Big 4, DAX-level corporates, defence, and aviation - now available as a freelancer for remote engagements.

I've held roles from Internal Audit at Allianz SE and IFRS reporting at Daimler Mobility, to Senior Financial Analyst at V2X (US defence contractor), Accounting Manager at Lange Aviation, and most recently Senior Accountant at VistaJet. I've reported directly to CFOs and Heads of Finance, managed multi-entity consolidations, and delivered under both HGB and IFRS frameworks.

What I can do for you:

• Full month-end and year-end close - owned end to end, no handholding required
• Financial statements under IFRS and HGB—
including IFRS 9 and IFRS 16
• Budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis with clear management commentary
• Accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll, and reconciliations
• FP&A support — models, board decks, and ad hoc analysis
• SAP FI, IFS, MAXIMO — I work in your systems from day one

Who I work best with:
SMEs, startups, and holding companies that need senior finance expertise without a full-time hire. I work remotely, communicate clearly in English and German (B2), and deliver on time.
