What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role that allows me to apply my financial analysis and audit experience in a dynamic, growth-oriented environment. I value meaningful work, clear growth opportunities, and a collaborative team culture where I can contribute to strategic decision-making and continuous improvement.

I'm a finance professional with over 3 years of experience in financial analysis and audit, having worked with high-growth startups and leading consulting firms. My expertise lies in financial modeling, budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and evaluating fund utilization, especially in government and grant-funded programs. I’ve led projects worth up to £35M and contributed to a 130% revenue growth through performance-driven insights.

I’ve collaborated with UK government departments and startups alike—strengthening compliance, financial governance, and operational efficiency. I enjoy simplifying complex data into actionable strategies and building dynamic dashboards using Excel and Power BI.

My interests lie in strategic finance, analytics, public sector impact, and working with mission-driven organizations. I’ve been recognized with multiple spot awards for my contribution and collaboration on key projects.
