ACA-qualified audit and finance professional delivering IFRS/GAAP reporting, control assurance, and analytical insight across multi-entity clients.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I’m an ACA-qualified finance professional with 6+ years’ experience delivering high-quality financial reporting, external audits, commercial insight, and analytical support across fast-paced, multi-entity environments within the UK, EMEA and abroad. At EY, I lead audit teams from planning through the audit report phase, reviewing key financial statement areas and ensuring audit documentation aligns with relevant accounting standards and firm quality expectations, while influencing senior stakeholders with insight-driven analysis.
I also strengthen governance and regulatory compliance by reviewing compliance with IFRS, UK GAAP and US GAAP (including US GAAP for IPO-facing clients), scrutinising regulatory correspondence with bodies like HMRC, FCA and BoE, and supporting AML/sanctions and treasury/control improvements. I’m highly systems-focused, using ERP platforms such as Oracle-based NetSuite to extract, validate, reconcile and optimise reporting workflows—while communicating complex results clearly to non-finance audiences and coaching teams to deliver under tight deadlines.
