What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values data integrity and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a finance systems administrator with extensive experience in managing and interpreting complex financial data. Over the past nine years, I have led projects to optimize general ledger parameters and ensure our financial systems align with organizational requirements. My proficiency in financial reporting tools, such as Crystal Reports and X-Query, has allowed me to produce detailed reports that maintain the integrity and reliability of financial data.

One of my notable achievements includes developing aged debt dashboards in Power BI, which integrated data from our financial system to provide up-to-date reports on overdue payments. This project significantly improved cash flow management and informed credit control strategies. I am committed to continuous improvement and actively participate in training sessions to stay updated with changes in financial technology, ensuring I can deliver real value to my organization.
