What I'm looking for

With over thirty years of hands-on experience in accounting and financial planning and analysis, I have developed a strong expertise in managing financial operations and delivering strategic solutions. My career has primarily centered around Controller positions, where I have successfully overseen accounting departments, implemented financial controls, and improved operational efficiencies.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to collaborate effectively with teams and stakeholders, ensuring the highest quality of financial reporting and compliance. My experience includes managing payroll, accounts payable and receivable, and conducting detailed financial analyses to drive business growth. I take pride in my ownership mentality and commitment to delivering results that align with organizational goals.
