@ioannakonstantinou
Financial controller experienced in building finance functions and strengthening governance.
What I'm looking for
I am a Financial Controller with a proven track record of building finance functions from the ground up in multi-entity, multi-branch environments, delivering IFRS-compliant reporting, audit readiness, and robust internal controls. I have prior AVP-level fund accounting experience managing complex multi-entity structures, leading reporting and audit coordination, and improving financial integrity through system implementations and historical clean-ups.
I intentionally seek to apply strong financial governance and accountability within nonprofit and mission-driven organisations, combining hands-on systems work (Xero, Yardi, Zoho Books) and advanced Excel use with stakeholder management across operations, auditors, and tax advisors. My approach focuses on process implementation, fraud-prevention measures, and clear approval hierarchies to create sustainable, compliant finance functions.
