What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead finance strategy where governance, internal controls, and grant-funded sustainability matter. I want to strengthen financial systems, drive accurate reporting, and support mission-driven leadership with risk-aware decision-making.

I’m a senior finance leader and Certified Public Accountant with over 10 years of experience strengthening financial systems, governance, grant compliance, and institutional sustainability across education and nonprofit environments. As Founder & Managing Director, I build long-term financial strategy, design budgeting and cash flow management, and lead monthly reporting and variance analysis to keep leadership confidently informed.

I’ve implemented internal controls, procurement procedures, and financial approval hierarchies; overseen annual external audits and resolved audit findings; and managed restricted and unrestricted funds aligned to donor and institutional objectives. Previously, I supported revenue growth and performance through roles in revenue management and business performance, improving forecasting accuracy and building stronger data integrity—skills I bring to every finance and strategy challenge I take on.
