What I'm looking for

I'm looking for finance leadership opportunities where I can lead FP&A, reporting, transformation, and cost optimization across international or multi-entity operations.

At Social Investment Managers and Advisors, I lead budgeting, forecasting, financial reporting, and close processes across international entities and a $550 million portfolio. I prepare reporting under Dutch GAAP, IFRS, and US GAAP while supporting investor and borrower accounting operations.

I've driven finance transformation, ERP enhancements, and reporting automation, including an in-house portal for borrower and investor interest calculations. I turn financial models, scenario analysis, dashboards, and executive presentations into actionable decisions on performance, resource allocation, and cost savings.

Earlier, I managed SME accounting clients at Obox Accounting Solution, conducted operational and financial audits at Habib Bank Limited, and supported manufacturing accounting at Pak Feroza Fruit Packaging. I'm ACCA-qualified and bring 9+ years across investment management, banking, and manufacturing.
