What I'm looking for

I am seeking a challenging international opportunity that allows me to drive impactful solutions in evolving finance sub-domains, with a focus on sustainable practices and professional growth.

I am a dedicated and solution-focused Chartered Accountant with a solid foundation in financial analysis, risk management, and compliance. My expertise lies in ESG and Climate Risk Reporting, and I am eager to leverage my analytical skills and proficiency in financial systems to contribute to sustainable finance initiatives. Currently, I work as an Analyst in Product Control at Barclays Global Service Centre, where I perform financial analysis and reporting, ensuring accurate Profit & Loss validation and addressing discrepancies with insightful commentary.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong ability to oversee foreign exchange exposure and conduct month-end inventory reconciliations, ensuring the completeness of financial transactions. My experience as an Articled Assistant has equipped me with a diverse skill set, including conducting GST compliance audits and preparing analytical reports for clients across various industries. I am committed to continuous professional growth and am currently pursuing certifications in ESG and climate risk to further enhance my expertise.
