Cristina Kliesen
Founder and CEO
Hello! My name is Cristina Kliesen, and I specialize in providing Contract Controller services tailored to start-ups to help meet your business needs. With a robust skill set and extensive experience in financial management and accounting, I bring a wealth of expertise to the table.
In my most recent role as Corporate Controller for Energy Fuels Inc ($UUUU), I was entrusted with the preparation and communication of consolidated financial statements, ensuring adherence of strict internal controls, and ownership of high complex inquires related to inventory, payroll, banking and regulatory requirements. Additionally, I provided valuable financial planning and analysis to executive management ensuring informed business decision-making and compliance with regulatory standards.
As a leader in multiple organizations through my professional career, I have managed several implementations. I have always ensured a smooth transition, with a focus on enhancing operational efficiency and accuracy. My familiarity with various ERPs, such as Oracle’s JD Edwards, Intuit QuickBooks, NetSuite, and GP Dynamics, allows me to adapt swiftly to your existing systems or recommend and implement new ones efficiently.
My mindset of “Operations First, Accounting Second” comes from a decade experiencing firsthand a critical gap between the business world and the accounting world. Let me help you build the bridge that will connect you to your financial goals.
