What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a hands-on accounting or finance role in New Zealand where I can apply my financial reporting, close, reconciliation, and process-improvement experience from day one.

I've strengthened financial operations at Ecocert Group, Toyota de Venezuela, and Retail SPA through reliable close processes, reporting, reconciliations, and controls. At Ecocert, I reduced month-end close by about one working day and cut open intercompany differences by 90%.

I'm Xero Level 2 certified and experienced with NetSuite, Oracle GL/AP, Excel, and Power BI. I enjoy making complex financial information clear for non-finance stakeholders while improving processes, identifying risks, and supporting sound business decisions.
