In Few Words

My name is Andrei Kovalchuk; I am a financial and crisis manager.

Graduated from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. Worked on senior financial positions at sports organizations of Norilsk Nickel, at Agros, at Glavproduct. From the party of the system integrator, as the project manager, I participated in the opening of the two earliest in Russia hypermarkets of Metro Cash & Carry.

Deep professional knowledge: excellent mathematical training, methods of financial and investment analysis, accounting and planning methodology, problems of transformation of Russian statements into IFRS, consolidation, production costs and planning.

Since 2005, worked as an Interim CFO; usually, I worked for small- and medium-sized businesses, but among my employers there were rather large organisations: Yugptitseprom, Adamas, Gazprombank.

Most important projects were connected with optimisation of financial and economic activities of my employers: methodology, automation, personnel issues, financial analysis, improving efficiency of the processes, etc. Usualy, I work for companies, being in various transition states, imposing higher requirements for the competence of the chief financial officer.

If you or your partners are meeting challenges in the field of financial and economic management, entrust the solution to me.
