What I'm looking for

I'm seeking opportunities in FP&A, bookkeeping, and UK payroll where strategic thinking and operational excellence can create measurable business impact.

At British American Tobacco -BAT, I deliver financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and scenario analysis for APMEA-West markets. I work with Corporate and Commercial Finance teams on reporting and analysis that supports financial leadership.

At Zaan Group, I managed payroll for 600+ employees across 15 UK franchises and supported payroll ERP implementation. Earlier, at Halo Informatics, I managed payroll for 1200 employees across six UK companies, including statutory reporting; at Intagleo Systems Ltd, I implemented QuickBooks Online and developed budgets and forecasts.
