I am a seasoned Finance Manager with more than 18 years of experience in accounting, financial management, audit, and reporting. I specialize in preparing financial statements, managing month-end close processes, budgeting, forecasting, and ensuring compliance with accounting standards.
I have strong expertise in GAAP, IFRS, financial consolidation, financial analysis, cost control, and risk management. I use financial insights to improve transparency, identify business risks, support decision-making, and help organizations achieve sustainable operational and financial results.
In my current Finance Manager role at SEA LIFE Porto, I manage financial reporting, accounting and operational systems, budgeting activities, payroll reporting, employee benefits administration, and staff development. I focus on improving processes, reducing costs, and maintaining accurate and timely financial information.
My background also includes more than 15 years in financial audit, where I conducted risk assessments, designed audit programs, reviewed financial reporting systems, investigated potential fraud, and communicated findings to senior management. I have experience supervising junior auditors and ensuring audit quality and compliance.
I am a Certified Public Accountant with postgraduate and master's qualifications in finance, taxation, and financial audit. I am seeking to bring my finance leadership, audit expertise, and strategic planning capabilities to a respected organization.
