Management Reporting and Planning

I help finance, controlling, and operations teams replace fragmented files, static reports and complicated planning sheets with clear, reliable and easy-to-use solutions.

About

Reliable. Specialised. User-Oriented.

I am a consultant with deep roots in data analytics and performance management. My work covers the full scope — from initial requirements workshops through data architecture to dashboard delivery and governance.

Primary focus is the SAP Analytics stack, but the approach is tool-agnostic. Power BI, non-SAP data sources, mixed environments — the methodology does not change.

I work across industries and departments. Finance and controlling are my home ground; sales reporting, procurement analytics, and operations are equally in scope.

Services

What I do

01

Reporting & Dashboards

Management dashboards from CFO level to operational teams. KPI architecture, visual structure, and interaction design built around how decisions are actually made.

02

Planning & Budgeting

Integrated planning systems — annual budgeting, rolling forecasts, target setting and actuals comparison. Concept through to production rollout.

03

Data Architecture

Data models, queries, and process flows designed for performance, transparency, and long-term maintainability. SAP BW/4HANA and Datasphere.

04

Requirements & Concept

Structured workshops with business and IT stakeholders. Business requirements translated into technical concepts and board-ready decision papers.

05

Governance & Lifecycle

Role concepts, naming standards, release management, and stakeholder alignment — so reporting landscapes stay coherent and maintainable beyond go-live.

06

Enablement & Handover

End-user training, team coaching, and structured documentation. The goal is an organisation that is self-sufficient when the engagement ends.

Design is part of the deliverable, not decoration.

Most analytics projects produce outputs that are technically correct but poorly structured — reports nobody opens willingly. I apply visual hierarchy, layout principles, and usability thinking to every deliverable. The result is an outcome that speaks clearly, without training required.

Clients

Who I work with

Finance & Controlling

CFO Dashboards, Cost Controlling, Plan vs. Actuals

Monthly close reporting, variance analysis, integrated financial planning — from group level to cost centre.

Sales

Pipeline Visibility, Revenue Tracking, Quota Attainment

Sales performance dashboards that give management a reliable, up-to-date view without manual consolidation.

Procurement

Spend analytics, Supplier KPIs, Savings Tracking

Structured procurement reporting across categories, suppliers, and cost types — decision-ready, not data-heavy.

Operations

Production KPIs, Capacity, and Cost Allocation

Operational reporting connected to financial data — so plant managers and controllers are working from the same numbers.

IT & Solution Teams

Architecture, Governance, and Platform Setup

Tenant setup, role and authorisation concepts, data modelling standards, and lifecycle management for BI platforms.

Board & Executive

ESG, Group KPIs, Regulatory Reporting

Board-level dashboards and regulatory reports that consolidate data from multiple sources into a single, auditable view.

Tool choice follows the project, not the other way around. Deep expertise in SAP Analytics Cloud and BW/4HANA. Where the environment calls for a different tool — or a mixed landscape — that is equally workable. The methodology for requirements, data architecture, and governance stays consistent regardless of the platform.
