What I'm looking for

I am seeking a finance role focused on cost control, process improvement, and cross-functional collaboration that allows me to drive measurable savings and grow into financial leadership.

I am a results-driven finance professional with strong experience in internal auditing, cost accounting, and cost control. I focus on evaluating internal processes and implementing cost-saving strategies that improve operational efficiency.

In my current role as Cost Accountant/Controller, I collaborate with department heads to maximize profitability, analyze production costs, monitor inventory turnover, and prepare timely financial reports including COGS analysis. I have a track record of verifying invoices, reconciling discrepancies, and maintaining accurate financial records.

Previously I served as Cost Controller at a food & beverage operator and as an Internal Auditor for a fast-moving consumer operation, where I led variance analysis, stocktaking, POS reconciliation, and compliance checks to reduce waste and pilferage. I also have experience in accounts payable/receivable management and cross-functional cost-reduction initiatives.

I am committed to continuous improvement and strategic cost management, with demonstrated achievements such as reducing monthly fuel expenditure by 25% and introducing diesel-usage controls and product-tracking methods that improved profitability and reduced unnecessary costs.
