What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, encourages innovation, and values compliance.

With over 13 years of experience in prestigious Big Four and multinational firms, I have honed my skills as a Finance Director, adept at navigating complex business processes and risk management. My expertise spans IFRS, US GAAP, SOX compliance, and regulatory reporting across various sectors including manufacturing, trading, technology, and services. I am an astute problem solver with a strong command of financial analysis, management reporting, accounting, budgeting, forecasting, pricing, and project management.

In my current role as Finance Director at SAEM Corporation, I prepare detailed audit reports ensuring compliance with accounting standards. I have successfully implemented new compliance procedures that led to a 100% pass rate in external audits. My leadership style focuses on cultivating strong relationships and building high-performing teams, which has been instrumental in enhancing team performance and operational efficiency. I am passionate about developing and enforcing internal controls to prevent errors and fraud while staying updated on regulatory changes.
