ABOUT ME

I am a fully qualified ACCA (FCCA) finance professional with extensive experience across a range of senior accounting and finance roles. I have built my career across different industries, developing strong technical knowledge alongside hands-on leadership experience. I take pride in being reliable, calm under pressure, and someone who can be trusted to take ownership of both day-to-day finance and wider strategic responsibilities. I enjoy bringing structure, clarity, and improvement to finance functions while supporting people around me to perform at their best.

LOOKING FOR

I’m looking for a senior finance role where I can make a real contribution, both in terms of financial leadership and team support. I would like to be part of an organisation where finance has a strong voice in decision-making and where I can continue to add value through reporting, control, and process improvement. I’m also keen to keep developing professionally while taking on meaningful responsibility.

IMPORTANT TO ME

It’s important to me that finance is seen as more than just reporting numbers — it should help shape decisions and drive the business forward. I value accuracy, consistency, and being someone others can rely on. I also care about working in an environment where people are supported, communication is open, and improvements are genuinely encouraged.

INTERESTS

I enjoy developing my professional knowledge and keeping up with changes in finance, systems, and reporting practices. Outside of work, I value time with family and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
