Insight-driven FP&A professional and Chartered Accountant.
What I'm looking for
I am an insight-driven FP&A professional and a Chartered Accountant (ACA) with a strong foundation in strategic planning, statutory accounting, and management accounting. My expertise lies in translating large financial datasets into actionable insights, which I leverage to partner with business units for improved forecasting accuracy, budgeting, revenue growth, and cost efficiency.
Throughout my career, I have successfully led initiatives that have significantly impacted financial performance. For instance, at BBA, I acted as the FP&A lead for three business units, where I translated commercial agreements into financial forecasts and secured CFO approval to release £1.2 million in deferred income over two years. My experience also includes building project profitability models and conducting financial due diligence at Durkan Ltd, as well as ensuring SOX-compliant reporting at CFGI.
With a commitment to continuous development in data analysis, I combine my technical skills with commercial acumen to enhance decision-making and streamline reporting processes. I am passionate about using my financial expertise to drive business success and improve performance visibility.
