Ali Burak sahin

am a finance and audit professional with long-standing experience at an international independent audit firm, where I currently work as a manager. I help businesses put their financial reporting in order, understand their numbers, and present them credibly to investors, banks and auditors.

What I do:

Financial modelling and company valuation. I build 3–5 year financial models in Excel where the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow are fully linked. All assumptions sit on a separate sheet, so changing one input updates every table and the valuation result automatically. Valuations are prepared using the discounted cash flow (DCF) method, supported by comparable company multiples, scenario analysis and sensitivity tables.

IFRS reporting and audit readiness. I prepare IFRS-compliant financial statements and notes from statutory accounting records, including adjustments for employee benefits, expected credit losses, inventory write-downs, leases (IFRS 16), revenue (IFRS 15) and deferred tax. I also prepare companies for their first external audit: document checklists, reconciliations, and support throughout the audit process.

Management reporting and CFO advisory. I set up monthly management reporting packages covering sales, cost, profitability and cash flow, with budget-versus-actual comparison and variance commentary. For companies without a full-time finance lead, I act as an external finance partner on reporting structure, budgeting and cash management.

Excel reporting and automation. I turn scattered spreadsheets into one working file: a single data entry sheet feeding automatic calculations, pivot summaries, charts and error-checking controls, so monthly reporting stops being manual work.

I work in English and Turkish. Every deliverable comes as a working file you own, with the formulas open and a short walkthrough of how to use it. I review the output with you before closing the project and make any adjustments needed.
