Paolo Cescatti

I managed the monthly closings by the deadlines despite a long period of corporate strike which also involved the finance department, depriving me of the support of the closest collaborators. I contributed, providing the data required for the due diligence, to the finalization in October 2019 of the sale of the ice cream business unit. I supported the company that acquired the ice cream business unit, managing the closure of the monthly financial statements from October 2019 to March 2020 on their behalf.

I developed a management system for checking and forecasting the economic and financial performance in real time. Thanks to a policy of cost reduction and optimization, after two years of economic loss, the company again reached an operating profit, necessary objective to be able to carry out the sale. I defined in SAP an integrated chart of accounts for the general and management accounting, in order to improve the monthly reconciliation of data.

I learned the principles of general accounting and auditing of financial statements and I developed the analysis of company accounting records acquiring a 360-degree mental approach on the entire administration, finance and control area. Moreover, having worked in a small reality in the world of auditing, through "training on the job" I developed a high degree of autonomy in a short time, taking on responsibility positions with customers already after a few months.
