@louiseharris
I build accurate financial plans, forecasts, reporting, and controls for operational teams.
What I'm looking for
I'm a Finance Business Partner at Robertson Facilities Management, leading accurate and timely management accounts for contract teams. I support variance analysis, cash management, accounts receivable, budgets, forecasts, and internal controls.
Previously at Menzies Distribution, I improved customer budgeting for the largest distribution contract and built forecasting tools to analyse revenue and cost trends. I partnered with senior management, directors, sales colleagues, and project managers on plans, pricing models, corrective actions, and financial performance.
At Global Voices, I managed a four-person accounting team and delivered management information including cash flow, profit and loss statements, and balance sheets. I also oversaw payroll, pensions, PAYE, invoicing, forecasting, budgeting, and European debt collection improvements.
My background also includes stock and management accounting at Certas Energy, covering budgets, forecasts, reconciliations, credit control, accruals, prepayments, and senior-management reporting. I'm working toward becoming a fully qualified Chartered Accountant and want to bring my analytical, people, and leadership skills to a demanding Financial Analyst role.
