What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, values teamwork, and encourages innovative problem-solving.

I am a results-oriented accounting and business professional with a master's in business management and over four years of cross-functional experience in accounting, business consulting, and process improvement. Currently pursuing my ACCA qualification, I have a strong foundation in financial reporting, audits, budgeting, and leveraging data tools for strategic insights. I am known for delivering impactful solutions in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments.

In my current role as an Accountant at Gilligan & Co. Chartered Accountants, I prepare month-end general ledger close processes, perform reconciliations, and ensure compliance with IFRS and Irish GAAP standards. My previous experience as a Business Consultant has equipped me with the skills to conduct market research, implement process improvements, and deliver actionable financial insights. I thrive on challenges and am committed to continuous learning and professional development.
