I was working at BDO Switzerland as an audit assistant with a focus on international clients. Two out of four years were part-time (50%) as I was studying for my MSc in International Financial Management.My tasks included assessing client’s financial information and management assertions and preparing documentation for internal and external use. Furthermore, I also provided clients with services in financial accounting, consolidation and business foundation. Due to my working experience, I have gained deeper insight in industries such as film, tourism, IT, local manufacturing and non-profit organization.

After the project completion for Sandoz Pharmaceuticals AG, I have been transferred to Novartis Pharma AG to support the Finance Shared Service Center in Basel. At the headquarter, I carried out the same work for other subsidiaries within the Novartis Group. Furthermore, I have also been given the opportunity to work from home.

In order to merge all Swiss entities into one Finance Shared Service Center (Novartis Pharma AG), I was responsible for updating financial processes, flow charts, standard operating procedures and working guidelines for Sandoz Pharmaceuticals AG.
