What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead finance, accounting, tax, and compliance work where I can improve client outcomes, develop teams, and support sustainable business growth.

At Accounting People Ltd, I oversee a portfolio of more than 200 clients, lead five accountants, and deliver tailored tax planning and financial strategies.

I was promoted from Senior Client Manager to Portfolio Manager, where I designed and implemented anti-money laundering policies aligned with ACCA guidance. I also built an in-house marketing team to improve lead conversion and support business development.

My work spans UK statutory financial statements, management accounts, VAT returns, Corporation Tax, payroll, bookkeeping, and client compliance advice. I focus on accurate reporting, strong client relationships, and efficient operations.

Earlier, I supported finance, treasury, project accounting, fixed assets, and vendor operations at Gerry's Group, Zong CMPak, and Nestlé. I've also taught ACCA accounting and finance subjects while working as an accountant.
