What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers the opportunity to leveraging technology, enhance efficiency and drive process improvements with a collaborative culture, in an environment where I would have the chance to leverage my financial expertise.

I am an experienced Corporate Accountant with a robust background in financial management, intercompany transactions, reconciliations, payroll, treasury operations, bookkeeping, and financial reporting. My expertise lies in streamlining financial processes, supporting audits, and collaborating effectively with internal teams and external stakeholders. I am passionate about leveraging technology to enhance efficiency and drive process improvements, ensuring adherence to IFRS standards.

Throughout my career, I have managed intercompany transactions across EMEA entities, processed payroll accounting, and prepared monthly accounts and annual statutory financial statements. I have also led treasury operations, optimized cash flow forecasting, and supervised finance teams, demonstrating my leadership capabilities. My commitment to meticulous attention to detail and strong organizational skills has consistently supported business operations in dynamic work environments.

As an ACCA member with a first-class BA in Accounting & Finance, I have developed a solid foundation in financial reporting and management accounting. I am also fluent in English and Italian, and I have created an accounting course on Udemy, reaching a global audience. My personal interests in economic cycles, investments, and business strategy further fuel my drive for continuous improvement in the financial sector.
