What I'm looking for

I seek a remote finance role where I can lead financial controlling/FP&A, improve reporting processes, support audits, and contribute strategic insights for leadership while working with cross-functional teams and modern accounting tools.

I am a Chartered Accountant with 6+ years of experience across financial controlling, FP&A, audit, and accounting for US-based SaaS, global banking, and Big Four environments. I manage end-to-end accounting operations remotely and deliver consolidated financial statements under US GAAP and IFRS.

I have led month-end and year-end close activities, administered US payroll, and produced advanced Excel models for forecasting, budgeting, and variance analysis that support CFO-level reporting. I have hands-on experience with QuickBooks Online, Tally ERP, and working knowledge of SAP/Oracle.

Known for precision, proactive communication, and cross-functional collaboration, I support audits with detailed reconciliations and documentation, drive process improvements, and translate complex data into actionable insights for senior leadership.
