At Playnetic Ltd, I built finance processes and infrastructure from the ground up, working with the CFO across finance operations, compliance, payroll, and reporting for 12 UK and multiple European entities. I managed multi-currency payments and daily cash reconciliations, with oversight of group cash positions exceeding £15m.

Earlier, as Director at Veritas Financial Advisors, I held PCF 1 regulatory accountability and led the structured sale of the business. My work has also included financial control, treasury, cross-border finance, and reporting across regulated financial services, iGaming, and international businesses.
