Corporate finance manager at Round Room Live who cut the monthly close by ~80% through finance automation.

Canada

Message

At Round Room Live, I run the monthly close for ~20 entities across six functional currencies and recognize exhibition ticket revenue under ASC 606. I also reconciled Ticketmaster and Stripe data to calculate revenue accruals for one project.

I redesigned the close around LiveFlow, Zapier, and AI-assisted workflows, cutting the cycle by ~80%. I extended the automation into cash flow forecasting and budgeting, speeding planning turnaround by ~60%.

I deliver management reporting, executive dashboards, and investor- and board-ready analysis, and advise senior management on compliance and due diligence for strategic transactions. I also direct the external audit relationship and oversee GST/HST compliance with external tax advisors.

At Secret Location Inc., I closed and consolidated 15 project-based entities and drove the integration of CCH Tagetik and Longview. Earlier, as a Senior Audit Assistant at P.B. Vijayaraghavan & Co., I executed statutory and compliance audits and supported due diligence engagements. I'm ACCA and CMA (US) qualified.
