My work relation with the Organisation includes for example Business Central migration from NAV, preparation of and analysis on monthly financial management report in Power BI, Budget and Annual Report preparation, fundraising calls, donor reporting etc. I work close together with the finance team in order to design better and more efficient ways of working.

During my engagement with the Organisation I have also assisted with the preparation for external audit of financial reports for various EC Projects (under the compliance of EU Annexes and Guidelines). This exciting work also meant corresponding with people and organisations around the world in order to gather required information and documentation.

In January 2020 I assisted DanBred P/S with review and quality control of the year-end file. The work was carried out in close cooperation with the finance team and CFO.

Over two long interim periods I was engaged by CBRE (previously Johnson Controls GWS Denmark) in order to assist them with business controlling on a number of Danish and International client accounts (December 2017 - November 2018) and various financial matters and analysis within the operation of Facility Management on one of their sites (June 2015 - June 2016).

From September 2014 - July 2015 I was again engaged by CSC Danmark A/S (Valby). This time I assisted Nordic Controlling with annual and quarterly test of design and operating effectiveness of processes and controls according to SOX guidelines.

From November 2012 - March 2013 I was engaged by Nordisk Company A/S (Silkeborg) - the parent company of subsidiaries in Germany and Asia. During my assignment I have primarily assisted the Chief Operating Officer with month end closing procedures inclusive of preparation of the consolidated group reporting package as well as preparation of year-end work papers for the external auditors. Work has been carried out either in Hamborg, Silkeborg or Valby.

From March - December 2012 I was engaged by CSC Danmark A/S (Valby) - a subsidiary of the US NYSE listed company Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) - in order to assist the CSC Nordic Finance team with various transfer pricing matters inclusive of the yearly update of the transfer pricing defense file. Furthermore I assisted with the preparation inclusive of XBRL filing of the ÅRL (class C) Annual Report 2011/12 for all seven Danish legal entities. During the engagement I was also dedicated other tasks e.g. interim accounting and GAAP compliance in general, analysis of cost efficiency initiatives as well as assisting the CSC Nordic HR team with various analysis regarding employee costs.

From August 2011 - January 2012 I was engaged by the OMX listed company Flügger A/S (Rødovre) in order to prepare and update the transfer pricing defense file for the financial year 2010/11. This project was a follow up on the work performed back in February - April 2010, where I assisted Flügger A/S with review of their business procedures and transfer pricing documentation for the financial year 2009/2010.

From October 2009 (shortly after GAAP Accounting ApS was founded) until June 2010 I was engaged by LM Wind Power Group (formerly known as LM Glasfiber Group) where I assisted the Group Accounting Division with review of monthly management accounts, IFRS-matters inclusive preparation of the IFRS Annual Report 2009 etc. Work was carried out in Jutland and Copenhagen.

The above types of work - with international clients and colleagues - have given me a lot of continued experience with international work relations, which I have enjoyed - and still do - since my early BDO Copenhagen and Sydney days.
