What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance leadership role where I can strengthen IFRS/US GAAP reporting, internal controls, and regulatory/reinsurance processes—while driving automation, process improvements, and clear, management-ready insights.

I’m a finance professional with deep experience across US GAAP & IFRS reporting, internal controls, and month, quarter & year-end closing. I thrive in roles where accuracy, governance, and clear communication drive better decision-making.

At Home Trust Company, I’ve led finance reporting by managing a team of 4 and owning end-to-end month-end reporting activities, including General Ledger Closing, workpapers, variance analysis, and reconciliations. I also streamline financial accounting processes, enhance internal controls, and strengthen documentation practices, while contributing as a key member of the Accounting Policy Advisory team to monitor IFRS changes and recommend updates for compliance.

Previously at Securian Canada, I served as Senior Manager, Reinsurance for acquisition-related work, supporting Reinsurance & ERR processes and testing controls to ensure readiness and reliability. I built and led a team of two, coordinated with reinsurers on treaty set-up, settlement, and reporting processes, and worked closely with actuarial and underwriting teams to implement new reinsurance treaties and novation.

Earlier in my career, I handled complex regulatory reporting at BNP Paribas (Federal Reserve Bank filings) and led special projects to improve automation and reduce manual adjustments. From Swiss Re’s NAIC statutory reporting and legal entity controllership to PwC assurance audits under IFRS and US GAAP, I bring a consistent mindset: strengthen processes, validate outcomes, and partner effectively with stakeholders.
