What I'm looking for

I seek a senior finance role where I can lead reporting and technical accounting, drive system transformation, mentor teams, and influence governance in a collaborative, growth-focused environment.

I am a seasoned Group Reporting Accountant with over 11 years' experience in financial reporting, technical accounting (IFRS, US GAAP, UKGAAP) and implementing robust controls across multinational businesses. I have led accounting projects such as IFRS 15/16 rollouts, CECL impairment implementation across EMEA, and ERP migrations while partnering with audit, tax, treasury and legal teams to ensure accurate, compliant reporting.

I thrive in high-change, regulated environments and have driven process improvements, budget and forecast control, variance analysis and governance at firms including Deloitte, PwC, Barclays, Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan and CBRE. I enjoy leading teams, training stakeholders on complex standards, and delivering clear management reporting to support corporate decision-making.
