What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead finance operations for growing organizations, strengthening reporting, controls, cash flow, and automation while providing reliable insights that support strategic decisions.

I've led finance operations for offshore clients and a four-company group at Creativeshop Global Marketing, delivering US GAAP-compliant reporting, close management, reconciliations, budgeting, forecasting, cash flow planning, and board presentations.

I improve finance systems and controls: I led ERP implementation and automation that reduced payment processing time by 20%, cut operating expenses by 10%, and increased profit margins by 5%. Across 10+ years in accounting and bookkeeping, I've supported businesses in the UK, USA, Canada, and the European Union.
