What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a senior finance role where I can lead multi-entity reporting, drive ERP and process transformation, add commercial value, scale finance teams and contribute strategically in a PE-backed or international organisation. Immediate availability.

I am an ACA-qualified finance leader with 9+ years' experience delivering growth, transformation and financial control across PE-backed, high-growth and international environments.

I’ve led finance functions and multi-entity reporting, most recently overseeing finance for 23 legal entities, payroll for 2,000+ staff and group consolidations that improved audit readiness and reporting clarity.

I specialise in ERP and finance system implementations, process automation, budgeting, forecasting and delivering clean audits with Big 4 firms, while improving intercompany reporting, cashflow visibility and commercial decision-making.

I’m returning to work following maternity leave and redundancy, immediately available and ready to hit the ground running in a senior finance role where I can add commercial value, scale teams and support strategic growth.
