(Houston) a new entity has been set up in April 2014. I have spent time in Sep 2014 up to and including Nov 2014 to set up the finance department.

I have trained people using the financial systems. I have introduced and set up project / general ledger analyses. I have convinced the local management that it was really a must that they have to know the status of the financial performance and should not focus only on sales.
