I am a bilingual financial analyst specializing in forensic accounting, fraud detection, and financial reporting.
What I'm looking for
I am a bilingual financial analyst and ACCA student (7/13 exams) with focused expertise in forensic accounting, fraud detection, and regulatory compliance.
Over 11 years in London, I served as a Financial & Management Accountant where I coordinated internal audits with RSM, implemented ERP project accounting and fixed-asset modules, strengthened internal controls, and led project reporting and in-depth variance analyses.
I previously managed BAU CE finance programs at Apple, collaborated on a strategic project with Barclays Partner Finance, and worked as an assistant accountant at MOH Conseil; I seek roles that let me modernize reporting systems, reinforce compliance, and lead cross-functional teams.
