What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a growth-oriented, sustainability-focused company where I can apply accounting, audit and ESG reporting skills, drive process improvements, and support accurate financial controls and transparent reporting.

I am a sustainability-driven accounting professional with solid experience in financial accounting, auditing, ESG reporting, and business process development. I consistently deliver accurate month-end and year-end closes while ensuring compliance with applicable standards.

I have hands-on experience in invoice processing, AR/AP, bank reconciliations, recurring journals, prepaid expense allocations, VAT compliance, and revenue recognition under K3, IFRS and US GAAP. I also manage CRM systems and contribute to strategic planning, investor reporting, and internal communications.

In audit roles I reduced audit time and improved audit performance through enhanced methodologies and risk-based planning, and I have executed ESG assurance engagements and compliance audits. I have implemented automation and reporting dashboards that improved transparency and reporting efficiency across multiple organizations.

I seek to leverage my accounting, audit and ESG expertise in a forward-thinking, growth-oriented environment where I can contribute to accurate financial controls, sustainability reporting, and continuous process improvement.
