What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead finance operations where IFRS compliance, treasury and budgeting discipline, and strong internal controls directly support strategic decisions—building efficient workflows and audit-ready reporting across business units.

I’m a Finance Lead with experience spanning hospitality, trading, and professional services, currently leading finance operations across two business units for a technology and hospitality group. I focus on strengthening compliance and turning financial activity into timely, reliable decision support for directors.

At The Nest Innovation Technology, I lead treasury, payments, budgeting, and financial reporting—managing monthly financial statements for two business units and ensuring accuracy and authorization before funds are released. I review weekly requisitions to keep expenses aligned with budgets, and I onboard vendors through structured price comparisons to support cost-effective procurement decisions.

I’ve built processes that improve how finance operates: I managed a €30,000 project budget end-to-end with a financial roadmap for every planned expenditure, and I designed an accounting and bookkeeping posting-approval workflow that increased team efficiency by 15% while reducing errors. I also embed internal control discipline and risk awareness to improve oversight and reduce financial risk.

Previously, as an Accountant (IFRS-focused), I prepare multi-year and annual financial statements, conduct detailed cost analysis (including import duties, customs, freight, and clearing costs), and maintain ongoing financial operations for audit readiness. I began earlier with audit engagements and accounting across hotel and multi-branch inventory environments, reinforcing my core strengths in vouching, reconciliation, payroll/regulatory compliance, and audit support.
