## About me

I am an FCCA-qualified finance executive with more than 13 years of experience leading multi-entity accounting, controllership, financial reporting, internal controls, ERP transformation, revenue integrity, and audit readiness across healthcare, nonprofit, real estate, and international operations.

I have overseen an $80M operating budget, led finance teams, and delivered unqualified audit opinions with zero findings. I have also validated approximately $400M in grant-related activity, identified $3M in unbilled revenue, and recovered $800K in cash by strengthening controls and automating key processes.

My background combines deep GAAP and IFRS expertise with hands-on experience in Sage Intacct, NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Power BI, Tableau, Python, VBA, and AI-enabled automation. I use these tools to improve reporting accuracy, streamline operations, and support better executive decision-making.

In my recent roles, I have led month-end close, reconciliations, journal entries, financial reporting, variance analysis, and ERP migration initiatives. I have also built dashboards, automated workflows, and improved audit readiness through stronger documentation and control design.

I have worked across healthcare, nonprofit, trading, and real estate environments, often serving as the finance lead or interim finance director. This has given me broad experience in managing segmented accounts, grant compliance, statutory reporting, and cross-functional financial operations.

I am also involved in finance technology and education projects, including building analytical platforms, strategy review frameworks, and learning tools for ACCA candidates. I bring a strategic, process-driven approach to finance leadership with a strong focus on compliance, efficiency, and measurable business impact.
