Biography

I am a statutory auditor and professional accountant with a career spanning more than 30 years. I obtained the title of statutory auditor in 2000, combining the process of gaining professional qualifications and facing career challenges with raising two daughters. I am the co-founder, established in 1989, and President of the Management Board of the Morison Finansista group of advisory companies in Poznań, which in 2021 joined forces with the Moore Rewit group and, as of 2022, became Moore Polska.

I am a statutory auditor, a graduate of the Poznań University of Economics and Business, and a member of supervisory boards.

I have many years of experience in financial audit and accounting.

I specialise in accounting and financial reporting under IFRS, including for listed companies, as well as under the Accounting Act. My areas of expertise also include advisory services in mergers and acquisitions, transformations, divisions and contributions in kind, the preparation of financial sections of prospectuses, economic and financial analyses, and valuations of companies, shares, trademarks and copyrights.

I manage the entire firm, participate in key projects and coordinate the work of audit teams. I oversee the quality of work performed by statutory auditors and take part in business advisory services for clients.

I also have extensive teaching experience in accounting and the audit of financial statements.

In addition to my professional activity, I am actively involved in socio-economic life, serving as a member of the Management Board of the Polish Chamber of Business, within which I established the Women’s Club, whose mission is to support business initiatives undertaken by entrepreneurial women. My social engagement has been recognised with numerous awards, including the title of Polish Woman of the 21st Century in the Entrepreneurship category in 2023. I sit on the Chamber of the annual The Best Annual Report competition organised by the Institute of Accounting and Taxation. I am a mentor in the Inspirational and Mentoring Programme organised by the Polka XXI Century Foundation and a member of the Board Ready Women’s Club, which brings together women serving on management and supervisory boards.

I am not only a leader with an unquestionable reputation, but also a role model in the areas of professional ethics and social responsibility.

Privately, I am a happy wife, mother of two daughters and grandmother. I value the time I spend with my family, which plays a key role in my life – something I have emphasised when receiving my awards. I am also fulfilling my dreams by taking singing lessons.
