What I'm looking for

I’m looking to move in-house into a regulated fintech where financial accuracy is central to the business—using my IFRS and reconciliations strengths to support decisions, meet reporting deadlines, and collaborate confidently with stakeholders.

I’m an ACA-qualified finance professional with four years’ experience spanning Big 4 audit (KPMG), fintech operations (FD Technologies), and advisory (Cortus). I’ve built a reputation for precise IFRS application, multi-entity reconciliations, and clear, traceable analysis under tight deadlines.

In Transaction Services, I deliver buy-side financial due diligence across concurrent live engagements for multi-entity groups, analysing historical trial balances, management accounts, and financial statements to identify quality-of-earnings adjustments and working capital trends. I build net debt and net working capital analyses with partner-standard traceability, then translate findings into client-facing conclusions that support investment committee decisions.

Before that, I owned the 13-week Short Term Cash Flow forecast, coordinated audit deliverables with external auditors (BDO), and produced weekly reconciliations and management account inputs. Earlier in my career, I managed OTC derivatives settlements and confirmed daily positions for a major custodial banking client, so I’m comfortable balancing risk control, accuracy, and operational execution in regulated environments.
