What I'm looking for

I seek roles leveraging my accounting and advisory expertise where I can drive compliance, improve financial systems, support financing strategies and apply emerging AI/ML methods to enhance analysis.

I am a seasoned business consultant and accountant with over 15 years' experience leading financial, tax and advisory projects across multiple sectors. I specialise in accounting operations, tax compliance under Portuguese legislation and designing business plans that secure financing.

As Managing Partner I led client engagements, implemented ERP systems (PHC, Sage, Primavera), conducted internal audits and represented clients in tax inspections and administrative disputes. I combine analytical rigour and clear communication to produce structured reports and reliable strategic recommendations.

I am committed to continuous learning and technology adoption, with advanced Excel/VBA skills and ongoing study of AI/ML and RLHF to bring structured, ethical evaluation to emerging models while supporting clients in growth, grants access and investment decision-making.
