At BAE Systems, I managed reporting and forecasting across an international portfolio of 13+ aerospace and defence contracts. I analyzed costs, contract margins and financial risks, and prepared quarterly Schedule Status Reports and inputs to five-year financial plans.
I challenged a £1.8 million cash-receipt forecast by reviewing collections, invoicing schedules and debtor balances, contributing to an agreed revision to £1.1 million. I also investigated a £350,000 cost variance, tracing it to delayed contract deliverables rather than permanent savings.
In financial accounting and statutory reporting at BAE Systems, I managed monthly reporting for 10+ legal entities and prepared statutory accounts for 7+ entities. I reconciled SAP data to HFM and worked through reporting discrepancies, audit queries and disclosures.
Earlier, I supported regional corporate services at HM Prison and Probation Service and managed financial records and operations at WENSLEY FOLD NEWS (GO LOCAL). I’ve completed all exams for the CIMA Professional Qualification, with professional membership and CGMA designation pending approval.
