What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values intellectual rigor and offers growth opportunities.

Having worked for several companies, I have gained the ability to adapt to novel requirements and to sensitize myself to the specific expectations of the management teams I work for.

My experiences range from accounting (bookkeeping, reporting and budgeting) to tax, and audit. I have in depth understanding of IFRS and Malta GAPSME. I was also exposed and work with several clients whose reporting standards was USGAAP.
