What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can apply construction accounting expertise, lead process improvements, mentor teams, and deliver reliable financial insights to support strategic decisions.

I am a self-driven financial accountant with over 10 years of experience delivering accurate financial reporting, VAT compliance, audit support, and construction industry accounting. I lead month-end close processes, prepare IFRS-aligned financial statements, and implement internal controls to strengthen financial governance.

My hands-on experience includes preparing management accounts, bank and balance sheet reconciliations, audit packs, budgeting and forecasting, cashflow management, and contract/job costing for construction clients. I train and mentor junior staff and have supported system upgrades and automation projects.

I am skilled with Xero, Sage, CaseWare and Draftworx and maintain strong client relationships to provide actionable financial insights that support strategic decisions and operational efficiency.
