What I'm looking for

I seek senior finance roles in treasury, payables or credit control where I can lead process improvements, ensure compliance, and grow within a collaborative, learning-focused organization.

I am a dedicated finance and accounting professional with over eight years' experience across public and private sectors, progressing from entry-level roles to middle management and temporary C-suite responsibilities. I have led end-to-end treasury, payables and credit control functions using ERP systems including Oracle, Sage, QuickBooks, Intacct and Concur, and I drive process improvements that enhance accuracy and efficiency.

I excel in bank relationship management, liquidity and cash positioning, statutory compliance and audit support, and stakeholder engagement with regulators and external auditors. I am adaptable, a strong communicator and committed to continuous learning and professional development to deliver senior-level finance outcomes.
