I am Chartered Management Accountant from Chartered Institute Of Management Accountants UK having 6 years of experience in preparing business plans, feasibility reports and conducting market researches. I also have excellent communication & correspondence skills and understand the needs of the client, as this is the main reason for excellent & 5/5 feedback also on freelancer.com. My initial experience was from KPMG which is one of the big four firms in the world, and I worked in Business Advisory Department for the whole year then moved to Audit Section, which increased my horizon of understanding the businesses, and i believe that the skills i acquired from KPMG and the current company where i work helped me to polish my respective skills. 3.

I have an obligation to give 15 days notice to my present employer in case of voluntary resignation. Awaiting your kind response. Regards, AHK

Hello, my name's Ales. I'm a lawyer and a business consultant with 8 years of practice. I specialize in providing support to startups and small business owners. As a startup mentor, I've helped dozens of startups. Most recently, I've helped a startup that made it into the finals of the Slovenian best startup competition (top 5 out of +200) companies. I'm well-versed in the lastest methodologies in business planning and modelling (I'm a huge fan of anything that has to do with the lean startup philosophy). 1. I know that I can be great in this role because I have both the knowledge and experience in working with startups, no matter what their business area might be. As a lawyer with a passion for business I bring together the best of both worlds. 2. I'm a startup mentor and a technology transfer professional. I deal with innovative individuals and companies literally all the time and I love it. As an IP lawyer, I've been involved in dozens of patenting cases and as a business consultant I have helped dozens of startups develop a sound business model. 3. Since startups are my passion, I'm very flexible when it comes to payment. However, I'm sure that you'll properly reward me for my efforts. 4. When can I start? Is now soon enough? :) I think I've taken enough of your time for now. My Skype username's ales.zorc1. I hope to hear from you soon!
