What I'm looking for

I’m looking for leadership-oriented roles where I can own accounts & finance performance—month-end closing, reporting, budgeting, compliance—and lead teams to optimize operations, ensure strong stakeholder alignment, and improve profitability in a fast-paced environment.

I’m a General Manager (Accounts & Finance) with 22+ years of progressive professional accomplishments, consistently delivering to the highest standards in fast-paced, challenging environments. I oversee daily operations, lead teams, and manage month-end closing, bank reconciliations, and financial reporting to support business goals.

I drive growth and profitability through budgeting, forecasting, cost optimization, and Profit & Loss analysis, while ensuring compliance with regulations. I also strengthen external stakeholder relationships with government bodies and partners, and I continuously improve operational policies, productivity, and customer satisfaction.
