What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a senior accounting role where I can apply taxation expertise, cloud accounting (Xero/QuickBooks) migrations, and process automation to improve accuracy, compliance, reporting, and mentor junior staff.

I have over eight years of accounting experience delivering taxation, payroll, and financial reporting services for 50+ clients across diverse industries. I reduced client tax liabilities by up to 30%, led cloud migrations to QuickBooks and Xero that improved reporting efficiency by 40%, and mentored junior accountants to increase accuracy and speed.

In my current role I handle multi-currency Xero reconciliations, integrate accounting with inventory and sales systems, and build process automation tools using Excel (VBA/JavaScript) and cloud workflows. I focus on practical, compliant solutions that streamline operations and support business decision-making.
