What I'm looking for

I'm looking for flexible remote bookkeeping or accounting work where I can independently provide reliable, accurate ongoing financial support to growing businesses.

I've managed hands-on month-end accounting at Parkos, including journals, accruals, prepayments, complex balance-sheet reconciliations, cash monitoring, and multi-currency payment accounts.

I prepare reporting for an EU subsidiary and support parent-group consolidation, while improving finance processes and controls. My systems experience includes Oracle NetSuite, Exact, SAP, FloQast, Payhawk, Adyen, PayPal, Advanced Excel, and CaseWare.

Across BDO UK and SNG Grant Thornton, I've led and reviewed audits, worked with client finance teams, reviewed payroll and statutory reporting, and strengthened reporting quality and audit readiness. I'm seeking flexible remote bookkeeping and accounting work where I can provide reliable, accurate ongoing financial support.
