What do I do? I am a senior finance professional specializing in FP&A, financial management, revenue assurance, management reporting, budgeting, forecasting, financial controls, profitability analysis and finance transformation. I help organizations turn complex financial and operational data into clear insights, stronger controls, improved profitability, and better business decisions. I am comfortable working independently, managing sensitive financial information and collaborating with cross-functional and distributed teams. For how long? I have over 15 years of progressive experience across finance, accounting, management accounting, FP&A, commercial finance, revenue assurance and financial controls in complex business environments. What are two things you achieved? 1. Strengthened revenue integrity and financial controls: Developed and implemented revenue control frameworks and reconciliations across sales, inventory, customer accounts, banking, and the general ledger, improving reporting accuracy, accountability, and the identification and recovery of revenue leakages. 2. Improved financial planning and business performance: Led budgeting, forecasting, costing, profitability analysis, management reporting, and executive dashboards that provided leadership with timely visibility into margins, costs, cash flow, and operational performance to support informed strategic decisions. What kind of remote role do you want next? I am seeking a remote Finance Manager, FP&A Manager, Financial Controller, Revenue Assurance Manager, Senior Finance Business Partner, or Head of Finance role with an international or growth-oriented organization. I am particularly interested in roles where I can combine strategic financial leadership, advanced analysis, process improvement, and technology-enabled finance transformation while delivering measurable results in a distributed, high-performance team.
