What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that offers opportunities for growth, collaboration, and the chance to make a significant impact in financial management.

I am a well-seasoned certified chartered accountant with over 8 years of invaluable experience, including 5 years at a Big 4 audit firm and a secondment to top 10 audit and consulting firms in the USA. My expertise encompasses financial management, strategic planning, budgeting, forecasting, financial analysis, and risk management, all essential for driving business performance. I excel in preparing, presenting, and reviewing financial statements in compliance with IFRS, US GAAP, and Auditing Standards.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed teams of up to 10 people, consistently delivering assignments and projects within tight deadlines while maintaining the highest standards of financial reporting and internal controls. My resourceful and innovative approach allows me to thrive under pressure, and I am adept at adapting to changing circumstances. I am passionate about mentoring and training staff, fostering a collaborative work environment, and ensuring that financial processes are streamlined and compliant with regulations.
