Results-driven finance professional passionate about leveraging technology for business efficiency.
What I'm looking for
As a dedicated finance professional with over a decade of experience, I specialize in financial operations, process automation, and strategic analysis. My journey began at Neotel Pty Ltd, where I progressed from a Treasury Clerk to a Commission Specialist, honing my skills in financial systems and process improvement. Transitioning to Vodacom Pty Ltd, I took on increasingly senior roles, including Senior Analyst and Senior Specialist, driving financial efficiencies and leading cross-functional teams to achieve operational excellence.
My expertise lies in financial analysis, budgeting, and forecasting, with a strong focus on leveraging technology to streamline processes. I successfully implemented automated templates and models that significantly reduced manual work and improved accuracy. My achievements include leading the automation of the budget process, creating HFM templates, and managing large-scale projects like IFRS16 implementation.
I am passionate about continuous learning and upskilling, ensuring that I remain at the forefront of financial management in the digital age. My goal is to contribute to organizations by driving efficiencies and fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration.
