Ambitious finance analyst with a passion for continuous learning.
What I'm looking for
I am an ambitious and resilient finance analyst with a strong commitment to continuous learning and personal growth. My recent experience at Philip Morris as a Finance Analyst allowed me to deliver timely and accurate tax reports for business units across EMEA, while also providing essential support to accounting teams and conducting tax training sessions. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can contribute to cross-functional projects and support tax audits.
Prior to my role at Philip Morris, I worked at Shell Business Operations as a Tax Analyst, where I managed indirect tax processes and conducted periodic VAT returns for a portfolio of entities. My background also includes experience as a Customer Care Advisor at Cathay Pacific Airways, where I honed my customer service skills and managed logistical flight changes. I am passionate about leveraging my analytical skills and tax knowledge to drive business success.
