What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role where I can contribute to financial success and process optimization.

I am a results-oriented finance professional with over 14 years of experience in financial analysis, reporting, and strategic planning. My expertise lies in driving financial performance and optimizing processes to deliver actionable insights. I have a proven track record of leading teams, ensuring regulatory compliance, and leveraging my technical skills to achieve organizational goals.

Currently, I serve as a Financial Reporting Manager at Apex Group, where I lead a team responsible for financial reporting, budgeting, and forecasting. I have successfully streamlined reporting processes, reducing cycle time by 20%, and enhanced the accuracy of financial reports through rigorous data validation. My previous experience at Bank of America has equipped me with the skills to manage complex financial operations and implement cost-effective strategies.
