What I'm looking for

I'm open to opportunities where I can drive financial excellence through reporting, compliance, process automation, cash-flow improvement, and practical financial strategy.

I've led financial reporting and accounting operations for Fabbi, JAS Shared Services, MPK Chartered Accountants, and Hume International, delivering compliant month-end and year-end reporting across multinational portfolios.

At Fabbi, I introduced SOPs that reduced bookkeeping errors by 75% and review protocols that achieved 95% accuracy across 67 client accounts. I also built client relationships that delivered 100% satisfaction while expanding my US GAAP, tax advisory, and CFO-level financial strategy capabilities.

I use Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, CargoWise, AI tools, and advanced Excel to improve reporting, reconciliations, cash flow, and close processes. I'm motivated by resolving discrepancies, automating workflows, and helping finance, logistics, and management teams make better decisions.
