What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance/accounting role where I can own reconciliations, credit control, reporting, and process improvements—working with a strong team to meet deadlines, strengthen internal controls, and deliver accurate tax and statutory outputs.

I’m a strategic and analytical finance professional with 10+ years of success in financial reporting, analysis, and credit control. I consistently meet deadlines, resolve discrepancies, and focus on increasing company revenue through detailed analysis and process improvements.

In my roles, I support accounting teams with bookkeeping, month-end activities, bank reconciliations, and process journal entries. I process invoice payments to vendors, freelancers, and consultants, monitor and reconcile credit card transactions, and ensure accounts payable and employee reimbursements are accurate, properly coded, and authorized for payment.

I also manage collections and day-to-day financial record keeping, prepare monthly financial deliverables such as management accounts, and produce quarterly tax returns and statutory payments accurately. Across positions, I’ve reviewed and reconciled fixed asset registers, maintained accrual and amortization schedules, supported audits and tax returns, and helped review and improve accounting systems, procedures, and internal controls.
