Finance and proposals professional skilled in financial reporting, proposal writing, and operations.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven finance and business operations professional with proven experience in financial reporting, budgeting, audit compliance, proposal and report writing, and sales. I bring strong attention to detail, organization, and the ability to manage full documentation lifecycles from requirements gathering to submission.
As an independent consultant, I draft and edit business proposals and reports, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and support complex proposals requiring technical accuracy. In prior roles I maintained accurate financial records, prepared payslips and payment schedules, and supported forecasting and cash flow monitoring.
I have supervised construction and sales teams, coordinated site operations, improved processes, and mentored junior staff. I am effective at client engagement and building strong relationships to support repeat business.
I hold a Bachelor of Commerce (Finance option) and several certificates in leadership and technical skills, and I am adaptable to remote work while committed to professionalism, integrity, accountability, and continuous improvement.
