What I'm looking for

I seek a senior finance role where I can lead accounting teams, improve financial controls and reporting, drive ERP/accounting system improvements, and support strategic decision-making in an international organization.

I am a Certified Public Accountant with extensive international finance leadership experience across Turkey, the UK, Serbia and Portugal, focused on IFRS group consolidation, multi-entity multi-currency financial management, and ERP implementations.

I have led accounting and finance teams of up to 38 people, managed month-end and year-end close, tax and statutory reporting, budgeting and forecasting, cash and risk management, and advised leadership on accounting policies and financial strategy.

I bring practical ERP and accounting-system implementation experience (SAP, QuickBooks, Xero, Dext), strong advanced Excel and BI capabilities, and a track record of improving controls, financial processes and reporting to support strategic business decisions.
