Professional Activity
Projects completed
- I possess over 15 years of extensive experience in Accounting and Finance, with a strong track record of over 7 years in team leadership and management. Throughout my career, I have successfully led the Accounting and Finance Operations at prestigious organizations such as Coca-Cola İçecek A.Ş. and Dekor Ahşap Ürünleri A.Ş.
- As the RTR Transformation and Shared Services Implementation Project Manager at Coca-Cola Turkey, I successfully established the Finance Center Services (Shared Services) RTR department, encompassing operations in Iraq, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, and Turkey. Furthermore, I played a pivotal role in the development and implementation of the PTP department.
- In these roles, as an SME (Subject Matter Expert), I organized meetings and gathered information on locally conducted operations, identified differences in practices, and visited those countries to standardize processes and deliver presentations. I also guided the relevant field personnel and SAP consultants in the standardization of the SAP program and the technology transformation.
- At Dekor Ahşap, I successfully obtained a VAT refund of $1.5 million, which was about to expire, by establishing a new refund system from scratch. This enabled the company to obtain a VAT refund for the first time in its history. I resolved major issues that arose after the company's SAP implementation, ensuring the accounting and finance operations functioned correctly and sustainably. Additionally, I authored the company's Accounting and Finance policies.
- I am also an expert in SAP modules, including SAP Cost Accounting (CO), General Ledger Accounting (FI-GL), Asset Accounting (FI-AA), Sales and Distribution (SD), and Financial Accounting and Reporting (FI).
