Dear Sirs / Madam,

Since the beginning of my career I have been looking for strong team work and great new experiences. Now I am looking for a place where all of my knowledge and trained skills can be used and applied.

I graduated from Moscow State University of Commerce as an Economist with specialization in Accounting and Auditing. During my studies I participated in different student committees and conferences. I was one of the founders of Students Scientific and Administrative Society, and part time worked as a IT Specialist for an oil company. I completed two years at Portland State University MBA core syllabus with Honorable Distinctions.

On the fifth year of my studies I was invited to a commercial bank ‘ROSBANK’ (in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Russia) as a Treasury and Currency Exchange specialist. This is where performed the responsibilities of a treasurer, securities exchange specialist, currency exchange specialist, financial reporter, treasury, currency exchange accountant, and external audit focal point.

After one year at ‘ROSBANK’ I was invited by Sakhalin Energy Investment Company Ltd. This is an oil and gas company from Shell’s Groups of company. There I worked as a Tax Specialist, performed the roles of tax reporter, tax accountant, external tax audit focal point, tax adviser and tax analyst. Working as tax specialist I've got experience in such areas as internal and external tax reporting, tax reconciliation with tax authorities, compilation of accounting balances, budgeting of department costs, use of accounting and budgeting reports. I was also responsible for relationships with tax authorities, organization of team building activities, and preparations for holiday parties.

In 2004 I moved to SAP department as SAP FI/CO Business Analyst, here I was contacting Financial and Controlling departments to discuss the business issues, preparing functional specifications and change requests. Also contacting support organization in Kuala Lumpur to help apply changes, and supporting the users in questions and issues related to SAP system. Being in a new department I reamed new ways to use my experience and received new knowledge. In one year I have changed the area that I was working in from business analysis of FI/CO to the support of FI/CO/Procurement/Logistics/Project maintenance area. It gave me more experience and knowledge of the area I have been working in. As well as giving me better understanding of the processes in the company. My current responsibilities are Ad Hoc Business Support, analysis of supported areas, regular statistics reporting of issues in SAP areas, communication with support organization on changes and reported issues, provision of advice on SAP related issues to users, user training, support of internal and external audit and other.

In 2004 I opened a sport goods retail shop which is running successfully now with the target to expand in the nearest future. In January 2006 my partner and I formed an Art Photography studio which is in development now with wide perspectives.

In my free time I participate in different sports like snowboarding, mountain bike, parachute jumping, rock climbing, backpacking, rafting, ping-pong, billiard, off-roading, paintball. I love to organize and participate in different social events and competitions.
For the last year I've organized and run regular Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk local paintball competitions, helped in organization of local internet communities meetings, summer chalk drawing competition, acted as an instructor in summer outdoor rock climbing activities and hikes, participated in the First Moscow Indoor Rock Climbing Festival, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk Spring Off-road competition, different billiard tournaments.
