What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a leadership role where I can drive finance, tax compliance, and operational performance—strengthening internal controls, improving profitability, and managing multi-location teams in a fast-paced, growth-focused environment.

I’m a Finance and Business Management Executive and Chartered Management Accountant with 18+ years of progressive experience across accounting, finance, taxation, operations management, supply chain coordination, strategic planning, and business development. I’ve delivered sustainable business results across food production, manufacturing, construction, distribution, banking, insurance, and retail.

As a General Manager, I provide strategic leadership for operations, finance, sales, supply chain, and business development across multiple locations. I lead corporate strategy and growth initiatives, monitor branch performance against targets, strengthen internal controls and governance structures, and improve revenue, profitability, and operational efficiency.

I’m equally strong at execution at the financial and compliance level—preparing monthly management accounts, budgeting and forecasting, cash flow monitoring, and supporting audits. My work consistently improves performance through cost optimization, inventory control, tax compliance (including PAYE, VAT, Pension, and Consumption Tax), and disciplined project and ledger-level financial management.
