What I'm looking for

I seek a senior finance role where I can lead finance teams, drive capital raises and system implementation, support rapid business growth, and partner with management on strategic decisions.

I am a finance leader with eight years of end-to-end finance management experience across listed company auditing, enterprise financial management, and cross-industry financing. I have led and scaled finance teams, built franchise accounting systems from scratch, and acted as company representative in Series B financing while managing investor relations and ODI/VIE structures.

I excel at driving business optimization through data-driven analysis—improving unit economics, increasing store profitability, and delivering accurate consolidated management reporting. My background includes IPO and audit engagements for listed clients, tax planning and risk mitigation for enterprise groups, and hands-on ERP and BI tool expertise to support rapid business expansion and scalable financial operations.
