Senior finance professional turning complex reporting into clear decisions for leaders.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I’ve built a strong career history in Finance, with 13 year finance experience and ACCA Part qualified chartered accountant status alongside AAT qualifications. I’m currently a Management Accountant, preparing accurate monthly Management Accounts, maintaining up to date lead Audit schedules, and presenting to the CFO by working day 12.
In my role, I drive Monthly Sales and returns analysis reporting and work closely with bookkeepers to resolve outstanding queries, accruing upcoming costs as needed. I also report on key high cost areas, with the confidence to test system capabilities and create new reporting that helps move the department forward.
Earlier experience includes Financial Accountant work for an R&D Pre-Revenue start up, approving invoice and journal postings, managing weekly supplier payment runs in GBP/EUR/USD, and handling cashflow, monthly payroll, pension processing, and annual P11D and PSA submissions. I’ve also served as a Finance Business Partner managing 15 Extra Care Housing Schemes—translating risks and opportunities around care hours and occupancy for non-finance colleagues—while consistently staying calm, meeting tight deadlines, and improving processes through reporting, scenario projects, and coaching.
