What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can strengthen credit risk assessment, drive reliable collections, and improve accounting accuracy and compliance through clear reporting and strong stakeholder communication.

I’m an accomplished financial professional with a decade of combined expertise as an Accountant and Credit Controller. I manage financial management end to end—from meticulous account reconciliation and extensive financial reporting to strategic credit assessment and control.

I enhance accounting processes and ensure compliance with financial policies while maintaining strong stakeholder relationships. In my current role, I evaluate creditworthiness, set credit limits, streamline collections through negotiated payment plans, and generate accounts receivable, collections, and credit risk reports for management.
