What I'm looking for

I am looking for an analytical role where I can apply finance and data skills to optimise processes, improve performance, and support efficient decision-making.

I am a finance professional with 3+ years of experience in legal finance, focused on translating financial data into actionable insights that support strategic decision-making. I have delivered measurable improvements to billing cycles, invoice accuracy, and cash conversion through workflow automation and collaboration with systems and senior teams.

My experience includes producing monthly billing and WIP reports using SQL and Excel, identifying ageing risks, and partnering with stakeholders to reduce outstanding balances. I am currently pursuing ACCA to deepen my technical financial expertise and commitment to best-practice financial management.

I bring a problem-solving mindset, hands-on technical capability with SQL, Python, R, Tableau and advanced Excel, and a track record of implementing process improvements that improved revenue performance and forecasting accuracy. I am seeking an analytical role where I can apply finance and data skills to optimise processes and support business efficiency.
