What I'm looking for

I seek a mid-to-senior finance role focused on financial accounting, reconciliations and automation within a collaborative culture; opportunities to scale automation, improve close processes and mentor junior staff.

I am a Chartered Accountant with 5+ years of experience in financial accounting, general ledger management, reconciliations and financial close under US GAAP, IFRS and STAT.

I have hands-on experience across AP/AR, bank and balance-sheet reconciliations, intercompany transactions, fixed assets and audit support. I automate accounting workflows using Excel (Power Query, Macros) and Alteryx, reducing manual reconciliation and journal entry effort by 30% and saving over 272 manual hours.

I bring accuracy, deadline discipline and a continuous-improvement mindset, and I seek to scale automation, strengthen controls and mentor teams to improve close quality and speed.
