ASLI BERFU KAYMAZ

Holding Finance Director
ÇANKAYA/ÇAYYOLU

Summary

As an experienced Finance Director, I have a successful track record in managing the entire process of determining a company's banking product needs, allocating credit limits, and overseeing the provision, monitoring, utilization, and implementation of all banking products at the correct cost.

I am adept at overseeing all financial operations from collection to payment, conducting daily, weekly, and monthly monitoring of relevant transactions, meeting cash flow requirements, ensuring the timely and error-free conclusion of customer-supplier-bank relationships, and expertly forming and developing cohesive teams for operations.

I specialize in meticulously examining and presenting all financial information reports to top management and have a meticulous, detail-oriented, and methodical work ethic. With a high level of flexibility based on my extensive experience, I am well-equipped to monitor and implement appropriate actions for changes in regulations and procedures.

Drawing on my extensive experience, I excel in requesting domestic and/or international guarantees (tender guarantee, performance, advance, retention,warranty, purchase of goods, etc.) from banks with accurate letter text within the scope of tender specifications. I provide support in creating financial sections in procurement contracts, verifying the conformity of obtained guarantee letter texts with contracts, and effectively managing multiple priorities in a positive manner in issues related to necessary import and/or export letters of credit.

I have undertaken diligent and dedicated efforts in researching, aligning, developing, and implementing integrated systems-ERP that meet the needs of the company and managing the financial aspects of the processes involved in these systems' exploration and implementation.

Furthermore, my professional journey involves active participation in the execution of a company, where I managed all official, administrative, and financial affairs, defined and implemented strategic goals, and effectively managed human resources. I have enhanced my management skills by addressing professional challenges with my interpersonal communication abilities, excellent time management, and problem-solving skills.
