What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and strategic growth, where I can leverage my finance expertise to drive impactful decisions and support organizational success.

I am a results-driven accounting and finance professional with a proven track record in budgeting, forecasting, and financial management. My experience includes building trust-based partnerships with leadership teams, consultants, and governing boards to drive strategic decision-making. I excel at streamlining processes, optimizing financial operations, and ensuring compliance.

As the Founder of Herricane Tech, I specialize in helping startups and growing companies manage strategic change while integrating finance and technology training into every engagement. Previously, I served as the Chief Administration and Financial Officer at Cii Technology Solutions, where I led the transformation of the Technical Services Division to a Cloud Services Division, significantly increasing annual recurring revenue.
