What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a Financial Controller role where I can combine deep IFRS technical expertise with commercial acumen—driving financial integrity, process improvement, and strategic clarity across a high-performing finance function.

I’m a commercially astute Chartered Accountant (ACA) with 8 years of progressive post-graduate experience across Big 4 external audit, FTSE-listed group financial reporting, and entity-level financial control. I’ve built my career across FMCG, Real Estate, and Hospitality through senior client engagements at EY and KPMG, and a senior role at a leading FTSE group.

I specialize in group financial reporting—owning consolidated financial statements and driving half-year and full-year reporting cycles with full compliance with IFRS, UK GAAP, and FCA regulatory requirements. In my current role, I spearhead annual reports, press releases, and Audit Committee papers, coordinate submissions across 10+ countries, and lead technical accounting decisions across key disclosure areas.

I also own critical financial controls and strategic financial work: P&L and balance sheet reporting, quarterly balance sheet reviews, RACM/ICOFR-aligned control frameworks, CGU impairment testing, cashflow forecasting for newly acquired businesses, and M&A financial modelling. I’m particularly proud of delivering zero critical audit findings for two consecutive periods, and I mentor and lead multicultural finance teams to strengthen governance, integrity, and reporting quality.
