What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior remote role where I can drive financial strategy, manage HMRC MTD VAT and payroll compliance, and use automation to improve reporting—while leading and mentoring an accounts team.

I’m Head of Accounts with 8+ years of progressive experience in financial management, UK compliance, and payroll administration. I’m MBA-qualified and Xero-certified since 2020, progressing from Bronze to Silver Champion Partner with specialist designations across Associate, Professional, Payroll & Tax. I focus on HMRC MTD VAT Returns, UK Corporation Tax and Companies House submissions, and end-to-end payroll processing.

I lead and strengthen accounts functions by building strong teams through hiring and mentoring, while driving accurate budgeting, forecasting, and timely regulatory submissions. In my recent roles, I’ve managed organization-wide salary-related tasks, supported decision-making through researched reporting, and ensured consistent compliance from preparation through submission.

Beyond core accounting, I automate and optimize workflows using Google Apps Script—designing bespoke solutions that eliminate manual work and enhance reporting efficiency. I’m also a published Xero course author with 750+ students across six global platforms, combining financial expertise and technical innovation to educate, improve standards, and deliver measurable outcomes—now seeking a senior remote opportunity to drive financial strategy.
