What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a challenging managerial role to lead reconciliation and audit assurance work, drive automation/process improvements, strengthen controls, and ensure accurate, compliant cross-border banking operations in a fast-paced environment.

I’m a results-driven finance professional with proven expertise in Nostro Account Management, specializing in end-to-end reconciliation of high-value cross-border transactions within Investment Banking Operations.

With over 8 years of experience, I manage multi-currency nostro accounts, process payments, and resolve complex reconciliation discrepancies to ensure financial integrity and consistent adherence to risk, audit, and regulatory guidelines.

At Deutsche Bank, I serve as an SME for Nostro account reconciliation, executing daily reconciliations and settlements using TLM and Intellimatch, while handling escalations, aged breaks, and root-cause investigations in close collaboration with Treasury, Front Office, Risk, and Finance.

I also drive automation and control improvements—implementing UWQ to cut repetitive BAU tasks by 50% and leading GCMS automation to raise auto-matching rates from 40% to >90%, delivering 3.5 FTE savings and stronger governance through 4-eye controls. Alongside this, I mentor analysts and support regulatory reporting and audits.
