Jose Casana

I am a Business Administration graduate with over 10 years of experience in corporate finance, mainly focused on Management Control, FP&A, and accounting within top-tier multinational environments. Throughout my career, I have taken ownership of month-end closing processes under strict international standards, balance sheet analysis, and external audits.

My main differential is bridging the gap between finance and data technology; I leverage SAP, SQL, and Power BI to automate workflows and drive process improvements, I have a fluent C1 English level for international stakeholders, and the technical skills to optimize local financial reporting from day one.
