What I'm looking for

I’m looking to partner with finance teams to run reliable month-end close, strengthen internal controls, and deliver IFRS-compliant financial reporting and consolidation—using ERP and continuous process improvement.

I’m a CPA (K)-qualified Finance & Accounting Professional with over 10 years of progressive experience across financial reporting, management accounting, financial analysis, financial consolidation, and accounting operations. I help multinational and multi-entity organizations strengthen finance operations and deliver reliable financial information through disciplined month-end and year-end close, intercompany and balance sheet reconciliations, variance investigations, and IFRS compliance.

In my current role as a Finance Consultant, I partner with multinational clients across the EMEA region to improve finance operations through ERP implementations, finance system upgrades, functional testing, User Acceptance Testing (UAT), client onboarding, user training, and process improvement for financial consolidation and IFRS 16 lease accounting. I bring a blend of technical accounting expertise and finance technology to strengthen financial governance, streamline reporting processes, and successfully deliver finance transformation initiatives.
