## About

```text
As a seasoned finance leader with over 12 years of experience, I have honed my skills in various sectors including Retail, SaaS Technology, IT Consulting, Service Industry, and FMCG. My journey has equipped me with a robust understanding of financial management, strategic planning, and compliance. Currently, I serve as the Financial Controller at Microserve, where I lead a dedicated finance and accounting team, ensuring that all financial legal requirements are met while providing strategic recommendations to the CEO and executive management.

Prior to my current role, I worked as a Finance Manager at Qordata Inc., where I developed and implemented financial processes and controls that adhered to GAAP standards. My experience at EY, a Big4 audit firm, allowed me to plan and perform external audits for financial sector clients, further solidifying my expertise in internal controls and financial analysis. I am passionate about driving financial performance and fostering strong relationships with stakeholders to support long-term business objectives.
