I've strengthened revenue controls, reporting and close operations across regulated payments and banking.

United Kingdom

Message

At Checkout.com, I ran revenue close and consolidated management accounts across 20 global entities, cutting month-end close from 20 to 10 days through upstream billing, recurring reconciliations and clear close ownership.

I recovered $2m in uncaptured revenue by repairing a broken order-to-cash cycle, automating invoice delivery and cash matching, redesigning tiered billing logic, and strengthening AR controls.

I led revenue and billing audit deliverables, maintained zero material restatements across three audit cycles, and deployed an LLM anomaly-detection control across 1,000+ merchant contracts. I also served as finance-side design owner for revenue mapping during Checkout.com's Workday Financials implementation.

Earlier, I delivered IFRS reporting and Basel II/III regulatory returns at Polaris Bank, prepared financial statements and tax filings at Orhion Client Services, and audited client accounts at Akinola Akintunde & Co. I'm an FCCA with training in AI in Finance and sustainability for finance.
