What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can combine compliant finance/accounting and risk controls with strong reporting and customer relationship skills, while also contributing to data/AI quality work when needed. I work independently to meet targets.

I’m a finance professional with extensive experience across finance, accounting, banking operations, relationship management, and compliance management. I maintain financial records and prepare financial statements, support budgeting and forecasting, manage payroll, and support internal and external audits while implementing risk management measures and internal controls.

Alongside my finance background, I provide remote data annotation and quality assurance for AI and machine learning projects. I evaluate and classify text, image, and content datasets to improve model accuracy, conduct content review against project guidelines, and support AI training with consistent, timely delivery.
