Goal-oriented management accountant specializing in financial reporting, budgeting, cost analysis, and internal controls.
What I'm looking for
I’m a goal-oriented Management accountant with experience spanning financial reporting and auditing, business accounting, budgeting, and accounts payables and receivables management. At Acorn Holdings Limited, I prepared financial statements (income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow), managed monthly/quarterly/annual reporting, and drove scenario analysis to improve profitability.
I strengthen decision-making through management reporting and internal controls, including revamping the monthly closing process from 15 days to 8 days, reducing financial discrepancies by 20%, and delivering a 20% increase in overall financial performance through product-line cost analysis and controls. I’ve also supervised and mentored teams (including 7 junior accountants), improved month-end closing time by 15%, ensured accurate multi-currency/FX translation, and supported liquidity and working capital management with cash flow reporting.
