What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead financial due diligence and transaction advisory engagements where I can deliver Quality of Earnings, working capital, and deal-risk analysis while managing stakeholders and developing junior team members.

I've led financial due diligence engagements at MSCFO, Windy Street, Deloitte, and KPMG, supporting buy-side and sell-side transactions across IT, construction, industrial, consumer, healthcare, hospitality, utility, and SaaS businesses.

At MSCFO, I independently led 15+ transactions, delivering Quality of Earnings reports, Net Working Capital and Net Debt analyses, EBITDA normalization schedules, financial models, and executive diligence reports for private equity and strategic clients. I assess revenue recognition, inventory, commissions, accruals, related-party transactions, and one-time items to surface deal risks and support investment decisions.

I'm a Chartered Accountant who also brings assurance experience from EY, including US GAAP, SEC, PCAOB, AICPA, audit analytics, and financial statement analysis. I enjoy leading concurrent engagements, managing senior stakeholders, and coaching junior teams on accounting issues and report writing.
