What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own forecasting, budgeting, and financial reporting, while supporting audits with clean documentation. I want to work with stakeholders across accounts and management and grow through challenging finance projects.

I’m a partly-Qualified Chartered Management Accountant (CMA) from Institute of Cost and Management Accountant (CMA) International, and I’m actively converting my education into practical, high-impact finance work. I’m looking to associate with a leading organization where I can take on challenging accounting, finance, and auditing responsibilities with confidence and discipline.

In my current Finance Analyst – FP&A (Onboarding Phase) role at SafeIsNest Consulting (SINC), I developed and owned financial projections and forecasts for UK- and US-based clients. I build advanced financial models for revenue analysis, cost optimization, cash flow forecasting, and scenario planning, then translate the results into detailed reports, actionable insights, and investor-ready narratives.

Previously, as a Finance and Accounts Executive at Defence Housing Authority (D.A Club), I managed Oracle-based vendor transactions, maintained the Fixed Asset Register (FAR), and drove accuracy through bank reconciliations and control account adjustments. I also supported budgeting through budget consumption reporting and prepared audit responses, while earlier experience as an Accounts Assistant and Finance Intern strengthened my fundamentals in reconciliations, journal preparation, and internal/external audit documentation.
