What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles combining finance and proposal/report responsibilities in collaborative, growth-oriented organizations where I can apply my reporting, budgeting, and documentation expertise.

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.
