As an Interim Controller and FP&A Specialist at PostNL, I was responsible for strengthening financial control and planning & control processes within a large and complex logistics organization.

I managed key elements of the Planning & Control cycle, including budgeting, forecasting and actuals, and ensured timely and high-quality month- and quarter-end closings. A strong focus area was HR control, where I developed and implemented an improved workforce and labor cost budgeting model to enhance predictability and steering.

In addition, I supported management with cost control analyses, identified savings opportunities and contributed to CAPEX planning and reporting. The role required close collaboration with operations, HR and management, translating complex financial data into clear and actionable insights.

The assignment was characterized by high operational complexity, tight deadlines and the need for a calm, structured and hands-on approach to ensure financial continuity and reliable management information.

During a subsequent assignment at Transvision, I expanded my role with a stronger focus on financial analysis and reporting structures, working closely with the IT department.

I supported data analysis initiatives and contributed to improving reporting quality and consistency across systems. In parallel, I remained hands-on involved in financial control activities, ensuring continuity and reliability of the monthly figures.

This phase strengthened the analytical foundation of finance reporting and improved alignment between Finance and IT.

As an Interim Controller at Navingo, I supported a media and platform organization in the offshore energy sector during a phase of financial restructuring and process stabilization.

I rebuilt a reliable cashflow forecast and introduced structure in financial reporting, the general ledger and product setup. A key part of the assignment was the redesign of the invoicing process, creating a clear division of responsibilities between Sales and Finance and improving data quality and predictability.

In addition, I cleaned up historical bookings, prepared the organization for a smooth year-end close and supported the migration of the payroll system from ADP to Nmbrs, ensuring continuity and control.

The assignment resulted in restored financial clarity, improved cashflow visibility and future-proof finance processes that better supported the business.
