What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior finance role where I can lead finance operations, drive audit and compliance, implement systems (SAP), and contribute to strategic budgeting and commercial decision-making in a growth-focused organisation.

I am a Chartered Accountant with over 12 years of progressive experience across accounting, finance, budgeting and audit, primarily working in industry and large projects.

I have led finance, purchase and stores teams, implemented SAP modules (FICO, MM, SD, PP), and managed end-to-end statutory, internal and GST audits to ensure timely closures and compliance.

My roles have included commercial leadership for a medium to large plant project, finance control for a major retail property, and factory/plant accounting for construction and manufacturing businesses, delivering budgeting, forecasting and cost-control improvements.

I am pragmatic, focused on process improvement and stakeholder management, and experienced in designing financial controls, driving cost reduction and ensuring revenue assurance for high-value assets.
