What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a controller/finance leadership role where I can own IFRS reporting and consolidation, strengthen tax and audit readiness, and build automated processes. I want to drive operational efficiency and partner strategically with the business.

I’m a strategic Financial Controller/Manager with 10+ years of multinational finance leadership in fintech and SaaS accounting. I specialize in financial reporting, group consolidations, revenue recognition, and tax & regulatory compliance, with a strong focus on audit-ready governance.

In my roles at AZA Finance, I orchestrate group-wide month-end close and multi-currency consolidations for 20+ international entities, manage treasury and intercompany reconciliations, and deliver on-time multi-jurisdictional filings for VAT, Payroll, Withholding, and Corporate Income Tax. I also execute transfer pricing policies and lead end-to-end statutory audits, while mentoring teams on IFRS/GAAP and reserve calculations to improve accuracy and reduce audit turnaround time.

I bring an automation-first mindset to finance operations—using Python, Advanced Excel, SAP, and Smartsheet to streamline workflows, reduce manual monitoring, and speed up consolidation cycles. For example, I automated multi-currency and crypto wallet reconciliations with Python (reducing processing time by 60%), accelerated the group consolidation cycle by 2 days via automated intercompany eliminations, and built real-time trade payables/receivables tracking to strengthen controls.
