What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can apply IFRS and audit expertise, lead teams, improve controls, and grow toward senior finance leadership in a collaborative organisation.

I am a finance and accounting professional with five years' experience in financial reporting, external audit, and strategic analysis. I have led teams of 3–5 through planning, execution, and finalization of audits, ensuring timely delivery and high-quality financial statements in compliance with IFRS.

I have prepared audit deliverables, identified and mitigated risks, and coached junior staff while meeting stringent deadlines. I am progressing toward my Chartered Accountant qualification with two papers remaining and seek to contribute actionable insights and stronger controls to a growth-oriented organisation.
