I deliver audit-ready bookkeeping and revenue accounting for global businesses.
What I'm looking for
I’m an ACCA finalist with 2+ years of experience managing the full accounting cycle for UK, U.S., and Australian businesses across diverse industries. I’m known for strong financial reporting and month-end close discipline, balance sheet substantiation, revenue accounting, payroll, budgeting/forecasting, and statutory compliance under U.S. GAAP and Australian accounting frameworks.
In my current role as an Accounting Associate at HCA Consulting, I own end-to-end accounting and month-end close for a portfolio of 8+ entities—protecting general ledger integrity through analytical review, complex journal entries, accruals, prepayments, and period-end reporting. I also lead the revenue accounting cycle, build rolling sales forecasts and budgeting models, manage payroll accounting, and support UK and U.S. taxation activities. I standardize reconciliation workpapers and month-end workflows to strengthen controls and improve consistency across client engagements.
Previously, as an Accounts Executive at Accounts Automated, I supported 15+ Australian clients across hospitality, construction, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, and professional services—handling BAS, IAS, ITR, and CTR filings, GST reconciliations, and end-to-end payroll including PAYG withholding and STP reporting. I also designed Fathom-based executive management dashboards to turn financial data into KPI reporting, profitability analysis, and cash flow insights. Earlier, as an EY Ford Rhodes Assurance Intern, I supported substantive testing and prepared audit working papers to assurance-standard documentation.
