Mission and Vision

“Our aim is to closely listen to our clients and to provide them customised, real time financial expertise and advisory with the purpose to support their business growth in the digital age.”

“My international carrier as a senior Finance and M&A executive in eight countries around the globe, always pushed me to see a business opportunity from multiple perspectives. I believe solid experience with all types of business transactions, excellent verbal and written communication skills, persistence and approaching everything with the right set of values are the key attributes to tackle a complex business challenge in an effective and efficient manner.

At FinAdvicePartner I combine the knowledge and experience of a senior executive, with a hands-on approach and the willingness to get into the details. I personally prepare the right analysis for the issue at hand, and produce high quality communication to facilitate making the right business decision. Personally staying on top of all pending issues is key to ensure the smooth execution of all business transactions.”

Dharmendra

Senior IT Manager at Fortune 500 Industrial

“Akos was the CFO for Europe when I joined Euronet in London as Head of Credit Risk and Fraud in 2014. At the time Akos was in charge of launching the POS/Merchant Acquiring (electronic payment processing) business from a London based Financial Services entity into a number EU markets and was also leading the expansion of the ATM business into a number of new markets, such as the UK, France, Portugal and Denmark. The business was growing at a rapid rate (EBITDA growth was nearly 50% in 2014) and Akos effectively used his extensive experience from around the globe to keep up with the various financial and business challenges and to keep a strong Finance and Compliance infrastructure in place, as required by a NASDAQ traded Fintech. Akos was a strong and demanding, but also hands on and supportive leader and it was a great experience to work together during such interesting and challenging times.”

“I worked closely with Akos on several important development projects in Thailand over a period of approximately 3 years. Akos provided tremendous leadership and support on these projects with his excellent financial and analytical skills, experience and business savvy. I found that Akos was a great team player, an excellent mentor, very professional and very solutions oriented. He was highly respected at all levels within PMI”

Glenn Rush

Operations Executive, Project Director

“Akos and I worked closely together on a major international trade dispute which we successfully elevated to the World Trade Organization. This gave me the opportunity to witness his high degree of professionalism and his impressive work ethic. Without his help and his thoroughness working on our case, I am certain we could not have been successful. It was a distinct pleasure and honor to have worked with Akos.”

Anthony Amunátegui Abad

CEO at TradeAdvisors

“As GE’s operational leader I appreciated Akos’ ability to find compromises satisfying compliance to financial procedures and the same time enabling business flexibility to the customer satisfaction.”

He gave clear directions and motivates the team to get the job done. Akos also believe in people development including the development of my career during my assignment. It was a great pleasure to work with Akos, a person whom I learned so much from, a person who was my supervisor and yet also become a friend to me and to many of us.”
