What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Finance Manager with over 7 years of experience in financial planning, forecasting, collections, payables, inventory control, and statutory compliance. My career has been marked by demonstrated leadership in managing month-end closings, tax audits, and ERP implementations. I possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills, which have enabled me to support decision-making in multinational environments effectively.
Currently, I serve as a Senior Financial Accountant at TotalEnergies, where I manage month-end and quarter-end closings while ensuring compliance with statutory reporting standards. I led the SAP HANA ERP rollout, significantly improving data accuracy and forecasting capabilities.
