What I'm looking for

I seek a growth-oriented finance role where I can drive measurable margin and cash-flow improvements, collaborate with senior stakeholders, and continue developing financial modeling and project control expertise.

I am a project finance controller with hands-on experience in liquidity management, contract valuation and cross-functional stakeholder engagement, having supported portfolios in excess of US$120 million.

I collaborate closely with senior finance leaders on monthly billing, budgeting, cash-flow forecasting and customer reporting, and I have refreshed major project budgets to deliver sustained 8–12% gross margin improvements through scenario analysis and forecasting.

Analytically sharp, proactive and results-focused, I manage full project cash cycles (IFRS15 revenue recognition, cost control, A/P negotiation, A/R collection), perform financial due diligence and support audit and valuation activities to inform funding and risk decisions.
