What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth, collaboration, and the ability to make a significant impact on financial strategies.

I am an experienced Management Accountant with over 10 years in budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis. My proficiency in financial modeling and reporting has enabled me to provide valuable insights and guidance to clients, ensuring their financial health and compliance with GAAP and IFRS standards.

In my current role as a Cost Accountant at G4S Secure Solutions, I successfully implemented a comprehensive cost accounting framework that led to a 10% reduction in overall costs. I have a proven track record of analyzing financial data, preparing accurate financial reports, and advising management on financial outcomes, which has significantly contributed to the company's strategic decision-making.

Throughout my career, I have developed strong technical skills in various financial systems and tools, including RAMCO Finance ERP and advanced Excel. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to drive financial efficiency and support organizational growth.
