What I'm looking for

I seek a senior finance role where I can lead reporting, controls and ERP-driven improvements, collaborate with executives, and drive cost-effective, compliant financial operations.

I am an ACA and FCCA-qualified finance and accounting leader with 11+ years of multinational experience across Oil & Gas, Construction, Logistics, Education, and Manufacturing sectors. I specialize in financial reporting (IFRS/IAS, US GAAP), budgeting, forecasting, taxation, ERP implementations (NetSuite, Oracle, QuickBooks) and strengthening internal controls to support senior decision-making.

I have led consolidated accounting, treasury, payroll, and audit readiness efforts, delivered process improvements that shortened close timelines, and implemented controls that reduced fraud risk and tax misclassification. I combine technical expertise with stakeholder engagement to produce timely, compliant financial information that drives operational and strategic outcomes.
