Background

About Symeon Paskos

Senior Financial Reporting & Consolidation professional with 7+ years of experience delivering IFRS and US GAAP reporting for large, complex EMEA organizations with combined revenues exceeding €6bn. Currently responsible for end-to-end group financial statements, consolidation, and technical accounting at group level, partnering directly with CFOs, Group Finance Directors, and external auditors. I specialize in IFRS external reporting, group consolidation, SOX governance, and complex transactions, including M&A accounting, GAAP-to-GAAP conversions, and group policy harmonization. My work consistently focuses on strengthening control frameworks, improving reporting quality, and delivering audit-ready financial statements with zero or minimal adjustments. Recognized as an ACCA Audit & Assurance Prizewinner, I combine strong technical judgment with a practical, business-oriented mindset. I have led system transformations (SAP ECC/BPC to SAP S/4), reduced close timelines by up to 30%, and standardized reporting processes across multi-country environments. Looking forward I strive to keep myself continuously updated with modern techniques in accounting, changes in IFRS and new tools that provide a deep thourough analysis in interpreting data (financial and non-financial) to obtain valuable insights for the business itself but also senior executives driving the strategic decisions of the business.
