What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance controller/lead role where I can deliver compliant IFRS/GAAP reporting, strengthen controls, and use analytics to improve forecasting, dashboards, and automation for faster leadership decisions.

I’m a finance controller focused on delivering accurate, compliant financial reporting across IFRS and U.S. GAAP. I support close processes, reconciliations, and variance reporting to strengthen financial accuracy and decision-making.

In my current role, I help prepare client financial statements in compliance with U.S. GAAP and IRS standards, supporting bookkeeping, tax preparation, and payroll processing for small and medium-sized businesses. I work with CPAs to ensure timely filing and maintain client relationships through tailored financial advisory and compliance support.

Earlier, I led finance operations and controllership work—overseeing budgeting, forecasting, and financial models, and driving performance reviews that kept variance below 5% versus business plans. I’ve also built financial dashboards (reducing reconciliation gaps below 5%), automated payment processes through reporting and process improvements, and managed month-end and year-end close activities including complex IFRS-related calculations.
