Chartered accountant with expertise in sustainability reporting, consulting and assurance.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
As a Chartered Accountant (CA) and Chartered Public Finance Accountant (CPFA) with over 10 years of experience, I specialise in sustainability reporting and assurance. My journey has taken me through prestigious firms like Deloitte and Grant Thornton, where I have managed large advisory projects for both private and publicly traded companies. I am passionate about driving corporate behavioural change through effective sustainability practices and reporting.
At Deloitte, I led significant projects focusing on new sustainability regulations, ensuring clients are empowered to met their sustainability goals. My expertise in climate and environmental disclosure frameworks has allowed me to interpret and review complex regulations, ensuring compliance and excellence in reporting. I thrive in environments that prioritise well-being and team collaboration, and I take pride in mentoring colleagues to achieve high-quality work.
In addition to my professional achievements, I am a certified yoga teacher, which reflects my commitment to well-being and personal development. I believe in the importance of a balanced approach to work and life, and I aim to bring this philosophy into my professional endeavours.
