What I'm looking for

I seek finance roles emphasizing accurate GL management, reconciliations and financial close, with opportunities to lead automation and process-improvement initiatives in collaborative, deadline-driven teams.

I am a Chartered Accountant with 5+ years of hands-on experience in financial accounting, general ledger management, reconciliations, and month/quarter/year-end close under US GAAP, IFRS and STAT. I drive accuracy and timeliness in financial reporting, manage AP/AR, fixed assets, multi-currency and intercompany activity, and support audits while improving close quality and speed.

I focus on automation and efficiency using advanced Excel (Power Query, Macros), Alteryx and ERP systems such as QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, SAP and Oracle, having delivered measurable time savings and process improvements across roles at MetLife and EXL Services.
