What I'm looking for

I’m looking to leverage my expertise in financial operations, trade reconciliation, and regulatory compliance to enhance middle office workflows and deliver accurate reporting—supporting front-to-back integration and strategic decision-making in a dynamic financial institution.

I’m a Detail-oriented and analytical Finance & Middle Office Analyst with a strong grasp of trade lifecycle management, risk mitigation, and regulatory compliance. At NUVO DMCC, I own trade and contract valuations, daily derivative trade management in Aspect, and month-end close support—reconciling trades with exchanges, clearers, and brokers, highlighting discrepancies, and resolving them until finalized.

I also improve controls and efficiency across finance operations: I prepare IFRS monthly/quarterly/annual financial statements for 5 group companies in Dynamics 365 Business Central, oversee month-end closing (JV accounting, cost allocation, DD&A), and reconcile GL accounts for trading and operations. I’ve delivered automation by migrating Trading software to Accounting software, supported margin calls (IM & VM), and coordinated with auditors and regulatory bodies, while managing VAT/excise/corporate tax filings and compliance documentation for FTA/banks.
