What I'm looking for

I’m open to part-time and contract work with U.S. and Canadian companies, for 10–25 hours per week with overlap during U.S. and Canada business hours.

At Perichem Trading Inc., I run finance as the sole finance lead for a three-entity group across Türkiye, Canada, and UAE. I handle monthly closes and multi-currency reporting, and completed the group’s year-end close with KPMG on schedule with zero material adjustments.

Previously, at Bausch + Lomb, I cut the Middle East month-end close from seven to five days by automating recurring entries in Dynamics NAV. At Kuehne+Nagel, I helped reduce DSO from 48 to 32 days through credit-control system work and proactive follow-up.
