What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership finance role where I can combine audit, tax and ERP experience to improve controls, reporting and business performance while mentoring teams and supporting strategic growth.

I am a Chartered Accountant with progressive experience in audit, assurance, taxation and finance functions across listed companies, multinationals and private firms. I have led audit and advisory teams, supported C-suite strategy execution, implemented ERP systems (Oracle/SAP), and delivered financial reporting under IFRS while driving tax planning and compliance.

I have a demonstrated record of managing change — from business process analysis and internal control design to training and special-purpose engagements — and have earned performance recognition and professional development credentials from ICAP and PwC.
