What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership finance role where I can streamline operations, strengthen controls, support fundraising, mentor teams, and drive strategic financial planning in a growth-oriented, compliance-focused organization.

I am a Chartered Accountant with eight years of progressive finance leadership experience across startups and multinational environments. I specialize in financial reporting, US GAAP and IFRS compliance, audits, taxation, and end-to-end finance operations.

As a hands-on finance controller and manager, I have led consolidation for multi-entity groups, managed intercompany transactions, and prepared timely financial statements including MIS, budgets and cash‑flow analysis. I drive process improvements and have implemented SOPs and automation that reduced errors and increased efficiency.

I have supported fundraising and due diligence activities, preparing financial data for investors and leading legal and financial diligence during raises. I have secured equity investment rounds and coordinated cross-functional teams to meet regulatory and audit requirements.

I take pride in mentoring finance teams, streamlining month‑end and quarter‑end close, and ensuring regulatory compliance. I am excited to join an organization seeking a seasoned finance controller or head to streamline operations, strengthen controls, and support strategic growth.
