What I'm looking for

I'm looking for finance, project accounting, treasury, or business analysis roles where I can improve financial controls, budgeting, reporting, ERP processes, and decision-making in remote, hybrid, or on-site teams.

I'm currently Head of Accounts at Broadoaks British School, leading budgeting, financial reporting, cash management, payroll coordination, board packs, and audit-ready internal controls. Alongside this, I support Finance Manager and Business Analyst assignments, strengthening project financial planning, reporting, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 processes.

Across BUA Cement, Deloitte, SPIE Nigeria, and industrial and oil & gas engagements, I've led treasury, project accounting, cost control, IFRS reporting, audits, and funding support. I use Microsoft Dynamics 365, SAP, Power BI, Tableau, and Excel to improve visibility, manage cash and budgets, and help stakeholders make informed decisions.
