Swen Meyer Consulting

When your finance team is short on time, not on know-how.

I support accounting and finance teams in mid-sized companies with processes, closings and projects, on a temporary basis and tailored to your needs.

Questions I start with

  • Where do things regularly get stuck in the month-end close?
  • Which steps do we only do because we have always done them that way?
  • Who knows the process, and what happens if that person is unavailable?
  • How transparent is the work for auditors and management?

How I support you

Month-end close and reporting
Organise workflows, deadlines and responsibilities, identify bottlenecks, make reports clearer and more reliable.
Process analysis and optimisation
Map payables, receivables and document processes, make friction losses visible, implement practical improvements together with the team.
Process documentation and controls
Document procedures, checklists and control points so that cover, onboarding and audits become easier.
Year-end closing and audit preparation
Structure PBC lists and documents, prepare for auditor queries, coordinate the process with your team.
Support during bottlenecks
Temporary support for projects or capacity peaks in finance, with clearly defined tasks.
Digitalisation and system implementation
Prepare processes for ERP and DMS, check data quality, involve the departments. If you wish, the software selection itself as well, see ERP/DMS selection.

How I work

  1. Short initial callClarify the starting point, goal and timeframe. I'll tell you honestly whether and how I can help.
  2. Clearly defined assignmentAgree tasks, deliverables and effort upfront, so there are no surprises.
  3. Working with your teamI work with your colleagues, not around them. The results have to work in everyday practice.
  4. HandoverDocumentation and handover, so your team can carry on without me after the project.

Hands-on experience

I have been working in finance for more than ten years, with roles in audit and accounting and in a leadership position in real estate and private equity. I know month-end close, reporting, year-end closing and audits from my own work.

Already during my dual study programme I worked with process descriptions, quality management audits and bookkeeping. The question "How can we do this better?" has stayed with me in every project since.

Scope: I support with processes, organisation and projects. Tax advice, legal advice, the preparation of tax returns and statutory audits are not part of my services.

Where are things stuck for you right now?
