"Raul acts as Supervisor for our Chinese subsidiary, combining deep understanding of finance and compliance with a very pragmatic, hands‑on approach. He has strengthened our legal and internal control framework in China and supports management with clear, independent advice on various company related items. We are happy to recommend him.”
Ari Lehtola, Director Finance and IT, Wipak Group at Wihuri Packaging Oy
"We engaged Raul to strengthen and stabilize our finance operations in our China unit. At that time, the function lacked structure and consistency. Raul clarified roles and responsibilities, improved closing and reporting discipline, and resolved a significant amount of backlog and legacy open items.
He also enhanced our product costing and profitability steering, giving us better visibility on margins and a more reliable basis for operational and commercial decision-making. In parallel, he supported the recruitment of a finance manager and ensured proper handover and knowledge transfer to the local team.
Importantly, Raul worked in a pragmatic and hands-on way, adapting to the local organization while keeping a clear focus on sustainable improvements rather than short-term fixes.
As a result, the finance function is now structured, transparent, and running in a stable and reliable manner."
Rolf Backe, General Manager, Kolmeks (Chuzhou) Ltd.
