What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote, hybrid, and on-site opportunities, including remote work worldwide and on-site or hybrid roles in Finland.

At Walkingspree USA Ltd., I prepared monthly and annual financial statements, budgets, and variance analyses for top management. I built and maintained financial and pricing models, including recurring SaaS metrics such as MRR, churn, and CAC.

I led the finance team based in Sri Lanka while working remotely, overseeing day-to-day financial operations. I reduced month-end close time by 10 days and improved forecast accuracy by 10%.

Earlier, I prepared project statements and forecasts for PHDT (ECDP – World Bank Project), managed general ledger and close processes at Alatas Biglift Co Ltd., and handled AP, AR, and tax calculations at Logiwiz Limited (Hayleys PLC). I'm an ACCA finalist with three papers remaining, and hold a BBA in Accounting and Finance from Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences.
