What I'm looking for

I seek a finance leadership role where I can strengthen controls, improve processes, support strategic decisions, and drive accurate reporting in a collaborative, growth-oriented company.

I am an astute finance professional with over 7 years of cognate work experience across industries, combining accounting, auditing, risk management, internal control and business management to drive accurate financial reporting and stronger controls.

I have led finance and accounts teams, implemented internal audit control strategies, developed risk management frameworks, and identified material errors — including a $1.2 million revenue recognition correction — that improved revenue, profit and statement accuracy.

I am collaborative and results-focused, with expertise in budgeting, forecasting, cash management, tax compliance and ERP/accounting systems, and I aim to support executive management with timely, analytical financial advice and process improvements.
