DIPLOMA IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

Who am I? What are my particular skills?
Ingrid Neyen – your expert all around accounting and controlling
I learned all about accounting from scratch in a small affiliate of a European group during my first employment after my business administration studies with a focus on controlling and marketing. The group was sold to a US Group and I had to learn all about international accounting standards, reporting and controlling that became part of my job. My next position as commercial director included interface works with the IT department, sales, purchasing and product management.
All the companies I worked for as an employee have been sold or were integrated into a group during my employment. Thus projects were my constant companions.
It is the aim of accounting and controlling to make costs comprehensible. Only then can they be influenced and possible savings will be revealed.
To achieve this, aim a lot of practical experience is necessary – not only in accounting and controlling but also in the other business units.
Accounting, Controlling and more
As I have taken much pleasure in project work I decided to start my own business in 2005: Ingrid Neyen International Accounting & Consulting. I was not interested in a consulting company that only proposes solutions. I wanted to be part of the implementation itself and therefore decided to work as an interim manager. I have already successfully finished a lot of different projects as an interim manager. You will find more details in my project history.
Knowledge is power - Lecturer & Co.
As I love to share my knowledge with others I worked as a lecturer and gave lectures, too. My major subjects were controlling, cost accounting, organisation and accounting.
Not only my students learned a lot. I have acquired the ability to structure practical knowledge and how to share it with
trainees and specialists.
Practical knowledge all around controlling
I worked in different companies and sectors as head of accounting and controlling before I started my own business. Partially I was also responsible for human resources, product management and purchasing.
The companies I worked for had just been sold when I started or were sold to groups during my employment.
Besides the regular works in accounting such as monthly and year end closing, the reporting and planning I successfully finished a lot of projects. Please find details in the project history.
I was in charge of the projects but I worked on the implementation together with my employees, too.
No pain no gain – my training
I achieved my vocational training by correspondence courses while I was working full time with the following diplomas:
- Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration /Kensington University California
- Diplom Betriebswirtin (Master in Business Administration) / Fachhochschule Niederrhein with a focus on Controlling and Marketing
A rolling stone gathers no moss – my continued professional trainings
Besides my trainings in accounting and controlling I acquired a deep knowledge in business English and business French with the following diplomas
- Certified translator for English and French, diploma granted by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce Düsseldorf
- Diplôme de français des affaires, deuxième degré granted by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce Paris
I use my expert knowledge and professional experience since more than 20 years to optimize the accounting and controlling. The companies that I worked for have saved a lot of time and money. Would you like to make the most of our controlling and accounting, too? I look forward to receiving your call or e-mail.
