What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow in a role where I can own month-end close, forecasting, governance, and controls—partnering with stakeholders to strengthen cash, working capital, inventory accuracy, and sound strategic decision-making.

I’m a results-driven Financial Accountant and Finance Manager with over 5 years of progressive experience in financial reporting, planning, and controls across FMCG, automotive, and retail. I prepare and present financial statements (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow), lead month-end close processes, and perform variance analysis (YTD/ITM) to support clear, actionable decision-making.

ACCA part-qualified (in progress), I’m committed to financial governance and operational excellence. I enjoy business partnering with cross-functional stakeholders, overseeing working capital and liquidity, strengthening financial controls for GAAP/IAS/IFRS compliance, and improving reporting accuracy through strong use of ERP systems and Advanced Excel.
