What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a finance operations role where I can take wider ownership of month-end close, accurate reporting, reconciliations, payroll, compliance, and the management reporting pack.

I've run full sets of books across Saracens Investments, Sewtex, VHI Distillers, and public accounting, covering daily transactions through month-end close, reporting, payroll, and statutory filings.

At Saracens Investments, I manage invoice coding, supplier records, reconciliations, vendor payments, payroll, and Corporate Tax, VAT, and PAYE obligations in QuickBooks Online and Xero. I also produce management accounts, budgets, and rolling cash-flow projections, supporting a month-end close completed within four working days.

Over ten years at Sewtex and seven years at Ace Accounting Services, I maintained full accounting records, valued inventory with physical-to-book variances under 2%, and prepared year-end records for a portfolio of 150+ client businesses. I'm now looking to take wider ownership of finance operations, the close process, and the reporting pack that follows.
