What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative culture.

As a dedicated Cost and Management Accountant, I have honed my skills in overseeing financial processes and leading a team of seven in the finance department. My experience spans various industries, where I have successfully directed general accounting functions, managed budgeting, and ensured accurate financial reporting. I pride myself on my ability to partner with management teams to guide strategic planning and drive profit growth.

Throughout my career, I have achieved significant milestones, such as improving internal controls to reduce stock count variances by 40% and implementing budgeting models that cut operating costs by 22%. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my ability to compile and present management reports that inform decision-making at the board level. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with auditors and external consultants to enhance financial performance.
