@khorannikko
I build stronger finance controls, planning, and automation across global businesses.
What I'm looking for
I've delivered finance, accounting, and regulatory reporting across Worldpay, AssetLead, Aristagora Advisors, Goldman Sachs, and Rakuten Securities in Japan. My work spans multi-entity accounting, FP&A, regulatory compliance, and cross-border stakeholder coordination.
At AssetLead, I managed monthly through year-end accounting for five group entities and supported budgets, forecasts, and P&L variance analysis. I redesigned invoice controls to reduce errors by 35%, built VBA loan-schedule automation that reduced processing from three hours to three minutes, and helped improve sales efficiency by 20% through KPI tracking.
At Worldpay, I coordinated Bank of Japan and Ministry of Finance reporting and built three-year scenario models to evaluate automation vendors. I work fluently in Japanese and English, translating financial and regulatory requirements into practical decisions for local and global teams.
