What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to take ownership of payroll processes and improve finance operations in a supportive and dynamic environment.

I am an experienced and versatile Management Accountant with over 10 years of experience in both corporate and SME environments. My expertise spans financial reporting, month-end processes, payroll, and enhancing the efficiency of finance teams. I am proficient in systems such as Sage, SAP, Xero, and Excel, and I pride myself on being proactive, organized, and reliable.

Throughout my career, I have progressed through various roles, from accounts payable to payroll supervision and management accounting. I have successfully led payroll operations for 300 employees, ensuring accuracy and compliance. My journey has also taught me resilience and adaptability, especially while balancing work with raising my special needs child. I am now seeking a payroll or management accounting role where I can take ownership of the payroll cycle and contribute to improving finance operations.
