I lead financial control, technical accounting, and reporting improvements for global SaaS and multinational businesses.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead financial control, reporting, technical accounting and transformation work in a global, high-growth environment, partnering with finance leadership to strengthen controls, improve close processes and deliver timely, compliant reporting.

I'm currently acting as Interim Financial Controller for TradingView through CFGI, leading close, balance sheet governance, audit management and financial reporting across multiple jurisdictions.

I've reduced the close timeline from nine days to five by building an automated validation model for B2B deferred revenue. I also establish controls over material balance sheet accounts and prepare technical accounting papers covering IFRS 15, ASC 606, IAS 38, ASC 350 and ASC 360.

At CFGI, I've supported SOX control testing for Barinthus Biotherapeutics PLC and finance transformation work for CyrusOne, improving close processes and balance sheet reconciliations. I work closely with CFOs, finance leadership, control owners and external auditors to deliver accurate, compliant reporting.

Previously at PwC, I managed audits for asset and wealth management clients, including major UK real estate and investment management businesses, while leading and mentoring teams of up to 15 professionals. I also co-led DE&I initiatives at both PwC and CFGI.
