Brita Schumacher - Consultant Stories

As my assignment as Senior Accountant at AniCura AB (and their Holding companies), a leading international player in animal healthcare, comes to an end, I’m taking a moment to reflect on a truly valuable and rewarding chapter in my consulting journey. Working through Gazella gave me the opportunity to step into a dynamic, fast-paced organization where I was able to contribute from day one, adapt quickly, and grow professionally.

This assignment deepened my expertise in managing complex financial reporting processes and collaborating cross-functionally across teams in an international environment. I gained hands-on experience working in two different ledgers and learned a great deal about currencies and revaluations, intercompany transactions, clinic acquisitions, and the continuous improvement of internal processes. I also strengthened my technical skills in Oracle, honed my ability to manage high workloads during month-end and year-end closings, and learned to navigate shifting priorities with clarity and confidence. I’ve seen the power of entering new environments with an open mindset and a proactive attitude.

Due to our previous consulting engagements, Gazella was quick to identify suitable assignments. Throughout this assignment, my consulting manager at Gazella has been a consistent support—checking in regularly, offering guidance when challenges arose, and always ensuring I had the tools and direction needed to thrive. A big thank you to everyone at AniCura and Gazella who made this experience so enriching. I’m now looking forward to new opportunities after the summer and am excited to keep growing through consulting!
