What I'm looking for
I am a senior financial accountant with 10 years of experience across corporate finance, logistics, hospitality, and professional services, skilled in high-volume reconciliations and multi-country reporting.
I have overseen intercompany accounting, payroll, financial reporting, and budgets exceeding $20 million across six countries, improving month-end close efficiency, reducing posting errors by ~30%, and resolving over $120K in vendor discrepancies.
I prioritize strong internal controls, audit readiness, and tax compliance (VAT, PAYE, Withholding, Corporate Tax) and I seek roles where I can apply strategic financial management, process optimisation, and risk management—especially in Fintech or iGaming environments.
