What I'm looking for

I seek a senior finance role where I can lead ERP-driven reporting, optimize processes, implement cost savings, ensure tax compliance, and mentor accounting teams in a collaborative, growth-focused organization.

I am a dynamic Chief Accountant with extensive experience managing ERP-driven finance operations, financial reporting, and tax compliance in manufacturing and banking environments.

I have a proven track record of improving processes, implementing cost-cutting measures, and ensuring timely month-end closes. I have audited physical stock-take variances and led corrective actions, negotiated vendor payment plans with banks, and reviewed postings to ensure accuracy. I supervise and review accounting team output to maintain financial integrity.

I work daily with Microsoft Dynamics GP, Navision and SAP, and I am proficient in Excel for performance analysis, budgeting, and cash-flow reporting. I prepare monthly, quarterly and annual management accounts, intercompany reconciliations, and statutory filings.

I bring strong analytical skills, clear communication, and a focus on collaborative problem-solving to drive measurable improvements in financial performance. I am motivated to join an organization where I can further optimize ERP workflows, strengthen controls, and mentor finance teams.
