What I'm looking for

I seek a senior finance role where I can lead ERP-driven transformation, ensure compliance, mentor teams, and deliver strategic financial insights in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

I am a results-oriented senior accounting and finance professional with over 25 years of progressive experience across oil & gas, consulting, media, and healthcare sectors. I have consistently driven financial efficiency, regulatory compliance, and operational improvements.

I bring deep ERP expertise—Oracle Cloud Financials and SAP (FICO)—and strong technical skills in financial reporting, IFRS compliance, budgeting, forecasting, and advanced Excel. I have led audits, tax compliance efforts, and month-end and year-end reporting processes.

Throughout my career I have managed teams, mentored staff, and supported executive decision-making through reliable management reporting and analysis. I have overseen project accounting, capital expenditure analysis, credit control, and cash flow management for multi-subsidiary operations.

I am adaptable and outcomes-focused, experienced in finance transformation and operational leadership for broadcast, consulting, and energy companies. I am willing to relocate and open to remote or hybrid roles to add immediate value.
