What I'm looking for

I seek a senior finance role where I can lead accounting operations, drive ERP and controls projects, support M&A, and partner with leadership to improve processes and reporting.

I am a senior accounting and finance leader with extensive US GAAP experience across multi-entity and international environments. I have led consolidated financial reporting, audits, ASC 606 implementation, ERP projects, and M&A due diligence while partnering closely with business leaders to improve processes and visibility.

At Jack Henry & Associates I managed reporting for three business units covering 81 departments and over 650 employees, led PWC audit interactions, contributed to ASC 606 commission recognition controls, and supported divestiture activities. As Global Controller for a $120M company, I led NetSuite implementation/administration, prepared consolidated financial statements and board/lender packages, and managed audits across the United States, Europe and Asia.

I bring hands-on accounting operations experience—AR/AP/payroll, covenant forecasting, budgets, and forecasting—along with proven project management and stakeholder management skills. I am committed to driving efficiency, strong controls, and proactive financial leadership that supports growth and compliance.
