What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role in a collaborative, growth-focused company where I can drive budgeting, forecasting, and reporting improvements and support strategic decisions.

I am a Business Controller and FP&A specialist with international finance experience, focused on budgeting, forecasting, and performance analysis. I have led reporting cycles, streamlined processes with Power BI and Oracle Smart View, and provided insights that support strategic decision-making.

Previously I worked as an Investment Consultant Analyst developing advanced Excel models and gaining foundational SQL skills, and I began in business controlling through internship roles. I am proactive, analytical, collaborative, and eager to contribute to a finance team driving business growth in the UK.
