What I'm looking for

I seek a finance leadership role focused on compliance, process improvement, audit readiness, and strategic financial insights within a collaborative, growth-oriented company; I am available to join immediately.

I have 8+ years of accounting experience delivering accurate financial reporting and driving process improvements; I independently led financial reporting for multiple entities, reduced monthly close time by 20%, and supported initiatives that achieved 15% cost reductions.

As Head of Finance, I compile highly accurate SLFRS-compliant reports, manage multi-currency transactions, ensure VAT and tax compliance, implement cash flow forecasts that speed vendor payments by 25%, build management dashboards, and streamline audit preparations to shorten audit durations by 20%.

Earlier roles include assistant accountant and senior associate positions where I managed payroll for large teams, improved forecast reliability, reduced inventory write-offs, mentored junior staff, and strengthened controls; I hold a BSc (1st Class) in Accountancy & Finance and am progressing through CA Sri Lanka.
