Bio
Alexandra Erman
I worked with Rafael at StreamSets as he was Payroll and accounting manager and I would work with him again in a heartbeat. We have established a fantastic working relationship, Rafael is very eager to help, to make things happen and understands really well the importance of pay for employees of a company. He was super responsive, always finding the best solution. He managed complex intercompany & international payrolls as well as commissions accounting and was precise, organised, clear in his explanations and always available. I highly recommend Rafael.

Rafael is a very strong accounting manager. He stepped in and cleaned up some significant problems and dealt with a litany of issues both in accounting and in operations. He continued to take on new responsibilities both as a technical accountant and as a leader. I really enjoyed working with him and would gladly do so again.
