What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my financial expertise and offers growth opportunities.

With over 20 years of extensive experience in finance and accounting across various sectors, including manufacturing, construction, and SAAS, I have honed my skills as a Fractional CFO and Financial Analyst. My career has been marked by a commitment to excellence and a goal-oriented approach, enabling organizations to achieve their financial objectives efficiently.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed both US and international finance teams, overseeing budget management, financial reporting, and compliance. My proficiency in tools such as Netsuite, Xero, and QuickBooks, combined with my knowledge of US GAAP and IFRS, has allowed me to implement effective financial strategies that align with long-term business goals. I am also a member of the Credit Committee and Asset Liability Committee at the National Cooperative Credit Union, where I contribute to critical financial decision-making.

As I continue to advance in my career, I am eager to leverage my analytical skills and financial expertise to drive impactful results for organizations. My dedication to continuous improvement and process efficiency has consistently led to enhanced financial performance and compliance.
