ABOUT ME

I am a dedicated and detail focused Management Accountant with progressive experience across manufacturing, diagnostics and financial services environments. My background spans from transactional finance through to full month end responsibility, giving me a strong understanding of the finance function from the ground up.

I currently manage a small team and take ownership of key areas including payroll to gross pay, cash flow, VAT returns, balance sheet reconciliations, fixed assets, accruals and prepayments, as well as supporting audit processes. I have also developed and implemented department procedure manuals, strengthening internal controls and ensuring consistency across the finance function.

With formal accounting qualifications and strong systems knowledge, I bring both technical capability and a practical, hands on approach to financial management.

IMPORTANT TO ME

Accuracy, accountability and continuous improvement are central to how I work. I believe in maintaining strong controls while also looking for ways to improve efficiency and streamline processes.

I value being part of a collaborative team where communication is open and finance works closely with operational departments to provide meaningful insight.

INTERESTS

I enjoy reviewing and improving financial procedures, particularly where clearer documentation and structured processes can enhance efficiency and reduce risk. Supporting audits and ensuring compliance are areas I approach with confidence and care.

Outside of work, I am disciplined and goal orientated, qualities reflected in my personal interests which require commitment and perseverance.
