Senior accountant and finance specialist with 10+ years in FP&A, IFRS/SOX compliance, and process optimization for strategic decisions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior accountant and finance specialist with over 10 years of experience in Financial Planning, Auditing, and Internal Controls. I manage full-cycle accounting, including month-end and year-end closings, IFRS/SOX compliance, and financial statement preparation, while optimizing processes to support strategic decision-making in multinational environments.
Most recently, at Rover, I oversee Accounts Payable workflows and weekly payment processing for several entities. I run month and year-end closing processes, record journal entries, and perform account reconciliations under SOX compliance, while also assisting with monthly payroll calculations with HR and an external payroll provider.
Previously at Vale S.A., I worked as an FP&A Sr Analyst focused on month and year-end closing analysis. I supported expense and headcount forecasting and budget preparation, partnering with Supply Chain and Marketing directors to deliver financial insights and KPIs—also contributing to digital transformation efforts to automate financial reporting.
Earlier, as a JR Finance Manager at BT Transfers / Belmoney, I supervised analysts, assistants, and interns, executed full-cycle accounting and reconciliations using Exact Online, and prepared financial statements for C-level executives on a monthly basis. I’ve also delivered accounting and financial consultancy at Ernst Young Terco (EY) (FAAS), including IFRS 16 lease accounting impact analysis and support for external audits.
