What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead finance for a growth-focused organization—owning IFRS reporting, budgeting, cash-flow control, and tax compliance—while partnering with executives to strengthen governance, reduce costs, and manage risk.

I’m a results-driven senior finance leader with 8+ years in financial management, strategic planning, statutory compliance, and performance reporting across project-based and multi-entity environments. I translate financial data into actionable insights to support executive decision-making, profitability, margin improvement, and risk management.

As Head of Finance at Add-Vice Promotions Limited, I lead end-to-end financial management—planning, reporting, controls, and compliance—delivering monthly management accounts and IFRS-aligned financial statements. I restored full tax compliance after more than 10 years of non-compliance, reduced operational costs by 25%, improved working capital by 20%, and strengthened governance through internal audits and risk assessments, while optimizing payroll through automation.
