What I'm looking for

I seek a finance or operations leadership role where I can manage financial controls, lead teams, support audits, improve reporting and drive accurate budgeting and cash-flow processes.

I am an experienced finance professional with over 24 years of combined accounting and operations experience in Sri Lanka and Australia, holding CIMA, a Bachelor of Commerce and management diplomas. I have worked across industries including real estate, manufacturing, engineering, IT services and professional associations.

As an Operations Manager and former Financial Controller, I lead finance, audit and compliance activities, prepare management reports, manage cash flow, budgeting and forecasting, and oversee accounts receivable/payable, payroll and intercompany accounting. I have implemented and used ERP and accounting packages such as SAP (M1), MYOB, QuickBooks, Attaché, Oracle and Great Plains.

I pride myself on delivering accurate financial statements for audits, training and supervising bookkeeping teams, managing project feasibility and cost control for property development, and liaising with banks and auditors to support business growth and operational stability.
