What I'm looking for

I seek a senior finance role where I can lead digital finance transformation, strengthen treasury and compliance, mentor teams, and drive strategic investment and cash management to support growth.

I am a seasoned finance executive and ACCA professional with over 12 years' experience leading finance, treasury, tax compliance and digital transformation across real estate, agribusiness and trading sectors. I have a track record of resolving complex tax backlogs, digitizing finance functions to cut reporting cycles by 60%, restructuring investment portfolios to deliver consistent double-digit returns, and implementing liquidity and internal control frameworks that deliver audit readiness and operational resilience.

I lead with a hands-on, coaching style—building high-performance teams, presenting strategic financial insight to boards, and executing cost containment while maintaining operational effectiveness. My strengths include ERP-driven automation (SAGE, QuickBooks, Alegra), advanced financial modelling, and negotiating regulatory settlements, all focused on creating enterprise value and sustainable growth.
