What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can engineer automated executive reporting dashboards, integrate operational data into trusted metrics, and optimize finance and operations cycles—so decision-makers can act faster with confidence.

I help finance and operations teams move faster by turning unstructured, text-heavy exports into clean, structured management metrics. I’ve engineered executive-grade reporting and automated multi-step workflows to eliminate manual report formatting and cut reporting cycles down to single-click updates. As an Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB) Senior Certified Bookkeeper with over 20 years of experience managing multi-entity financial corporate departments and systems integration across Africa, I specialize in bridging the gap between raw operational databases (like Hub OS, POS platforms, and mining logistics logs) and core financial software including Xero, Sage Pastel, and SAP.
My unique value is combining deep financial compliance expertise (VAT, payroll, auditing, and corporate budgeting) with advanced technical capabilities in Excel, VBA automation, and data normalization. I design consolidated executive committee (Exco) reporting engines that clean messy database exports, eliminate manual processing bottlenecks, and provide clear management visibility for scaling businesses.
Most recently, I built an enterprise reporting system for a luxury hospitality group, consolidating data frameworks across six safari lodge entities into a unified Master Exco Dashboard. I also designed Macro/VBA-enabled automation pipelines for ingesting Hub OS exports, and proactively delivered an executive performance interface tracking cross-property operational costs, maintenance workloads, and critical infrastructure failure trends.
