What I'm looking for

I've spent the last 10+ years in the financial services industry primarily employed as financial manager responsible for the full finance, payroll and compliance functions while also overseeing the operational team for the last 6 years.

I enjoy being part of a small team and particularly enjoy being challenged with projects. One example of this was spearheading the in-house development of our NCR-aligned loan management system according to our business specifications. I was also very closely involved in testing the system and developing training material for the software.

I consider myself a fast learner and am very comfortable working with people from diverse backgrounds and utilising technology to improve efficiency.
