Senior Business Analyst and CPA | Finance transformation and BPMN specialist across government, infrastructure, telco and public-listed organisations.

Message

I’m a Senior Business Analyst and CPA with more than 15 years of experience delivering finance, process and systems transformation across government, infrastructure, telecommunications, property and ASX-listed organisations. My accounting background means I understand how a business runs and what drives its costs, so I quickly get to the heart of a problem. I don’t stop at analysis: I shape and implement solutions that last.

Key achievements

  • Finance transformation (PeopleIn, ASX: PPE): Led data migration to Certinia (Salesforce), consolidating 3,687 customer and 1,953 vendor records from 34 entities and 7 finance systems, and reconciling $52M in open receivables with zero variance. My ETL solutions cut payroll journal processing from 4 hours to 30 minutes and expense processing by 69%, and stayed in use after I left.

  • BPMN leadership: Introduced BPMN 2.0 as the enterprise process standard at City of Sydney, Sydney Metro and WestConnex. At City of Sydney I authored 36 process models and built service-delivery workflows for a proposed $1B Facilities Management Agreement.

  • Application rationalisation (Sydney Metro): Authored the Software Application Rationalisation Strategy, assessing 178 applications and decommissioning 24. Nominated for Sydney Metro Team Member of the Year 2021.

  • Financial reporting (NBN Co): Redesigned IT Capex reporting into an integrated Financial Tracker, cutting month-end turnaround by up to 56%. Prepared business cases for ExCo and the Investment Committee, including the ~$42M FY18 IT Capex program, and investigated $12M+ in overpayments to strengthen financial controls.

  • Regulated delivery (Transgrid, APA Group): Contributed to a rollout to 1,000+ users meeting Energy Regulator requirements. At APA I delivered a full Hyperion reporting suite in two months after the planned OBIEE platform was withdrawn.

Skills
Requirements elicitation, workshop facilitation, stakeholder engagement, BPMN 2.0 process architecture, data migration and ETL, data quality remediation, UAT management, financial modelling and reporting, business cases, RFPs and vendor evaluation, training and knowledge transfer.

What interests me
I’m most engaged where finance, process and technology meet: finance transformation programs, ERP and finance-system implementations, process architecture and reporting improvement. I value organisations serious about process governance, and I enjoy building capability in others by setting standards and leaving teams able to maintain the work themselves. I’m based in Sydney and thrive in complex, regulated, multi-stakeholder environments.
