What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a senior accounting role where I lead complex multinational financial reporting, improve processes with ERP systems, mentor small teams, and support strategic decisions within a collaborative, growth-oriented organisation.

I'm a Certified Public Accountant and ACCA member with extensive experience supporting multinational organisations across EMEA. I specialise in consolidated IFRS and US GAAP reporting, month-end close, and preparing audit-ready financial statements.

I was promoted to Senior Corporate Accountant after directing the preparation and audit of consolidated EMEA IFRS financial statements for 50+ entities and managing the accounting for a major joint venture spanning 25 entities. I author technical accounting memos, present complex transactions to senior leadership, and handle debt and equity transactions including restructurings and refinancings.

I drive process improvements through SAP and other finance systems, review SOX controls and management accounts, and collaborate cross-functionally to streamline O2C/P2P processes. I mentor and review work prepared by accountants to ensure accuracy and deliver actionable insights to senior management.
