What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead accounting or AP teams, drive process improvements and controls, contribute to accurate financial reporting, and grow in a collaborative, compliance-focused environment.

I am a qualified Chartered Accountant with over 10 years of experience, including 7+ years post-qualification, specializing in accounting, audits, and accounts payable operations. I combine strong technical accounting knowledge with practical hands-on experience managing teams and financial processes.

In my current role as Manager and Process Owner for Accounts Payable, I lead a team of six, implemented process improvements that reduced processing time by over 100 hours and cut cycle time by 30 days, and developed vendor reconciliation systems that lowered invoice discrepancies by 25%.

Previously, I served as an Audit Manager at two firms where I led audit teams, executed statutory and internal audits, handled tax scrutiny cases, and supported business valuation and transfer pricing assignments. I have experience in preparing financial statements, managing month-end and year-end closes, and coordinating with cross-functional teams to resolve financial issues.

I am results-oriented, enjoy mentoring teams, and focus on continuous improvement, compliance, and delivering accurate, timely financial reporting to support business decision-making.
