Operations and compliance professional turning financial gaps into audit-ready reporting.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own audit-ready reporting and compliance, translate data into decisions, and improve processes end-to-end—working independently across time zones with strong spreadsheet and BI support.

I’m an operations and compliance professional with a decade of experience keeping financial records, vendor documentation, and reporting systems accurate and audit-ready. I’m the person who catches the gap before it becomes a problem—whether it’s a reconciliation that doesn’t add up or a compliance report that’s due.

In my most recent role as a Business Development Manager / Analyst, I ran competitor and market analysis to back client strategy, cleaned and analyzed business data to surface growth opportunities and inefficiencies, and translated client requirements into structured analysis documents and briefs. I built reports and presentations that clearly supported recommendations consultants could act on.

Previously, as a Finance Officer, I reviewed daily, weekly, and monthly sales and expense data across multiple outlets, built reports across procurement, logistics, inventory, and cash flow, and tracked financial KPIs—flagging cost-saving opportunities early. I kept QuickBooks records accurate and audit-ready through regular reconciliation, and I’ve also delivered measurable impact in reporting systems and operational KPIs, including a 25% improvement in compliance ratings and a 15% average KPI lift.
