What I'm looking for

I seek a senior finance role where I can lead ERP integrations, strengthen controls, optimize treasury and drive accurate forecasting in a collaborative, growth-oriented company.

I am a results-oriented finance executive with 19 years' experience across strategic finance, accounting, risk management, internal controls and ERP implementations (Oracle R12 and NetSuite). I have led multinational finance teams, driven system integrations and migrations, and delivered improved operational efficiency and forecasting accuracy for global organisations.

My achievements include leading NetSuite and Oracle implementations, executing accurate month-end OPEX/CAPEX reporting, improving revenue recognition to 95% accuracy, implementing payment digitization and online banking, and strengthening treasury, compliance and risk reporting. I bring hands-on experience in treasury, AR/AP, tax, corporate secretarial support and audit readiness, and I train cross-functional teams to adopt robust financial controls.
