As a seasoned Finance Leader, I bring to the table over a decade of diverse experience in leadership positions, including the role of a CFO, each one building upon the last and adding to my repertoire of skills and knowledge. My journey, rich and varied, has led me through different sectors - construction, maintenance, and service to name a few. I have also had the opportunity of leading businesses of all sizes, from nimble startups and SMEs to large-scale US and UK listed companies. Each experience has given me unique insights into the complexities and challenges of different business structures.
My career foundation is built on my qualifications as a Chartered Accountant and my role as a faculty member of the ACCA. These credentials, while important, only tell part of the story. My expertise extends far beyond the traditional accounting function. Throughout my career, I have consistently leveraged my deep understanding of accounting and finance to provide comprehensive leadership, viewing every challenge through the lens of a financial expert, yet never allowing myself to be pigeonholed into just one function.
A significant focus of my work has been the implementation of technology, particularly in bridging gaps across business operations with the use of innovative tools. I firmly believe in the transformative power of technology and have seen its impact first-hand in optimizing the financial function and beyond.
Having worked my way up through different roles and capacities, I have an intimate understanding of the challenges that teams face at every level. This experience has honed my problem-solving skills, making me adept at identifying areas that need urgent attention and optimizing processes for better efficiency.
As an entrepreneur at heart, I understand the importance of quickly grasping business priorities and aligning them with the long-term financial strategy. This entrepreneurial mindset, when coupled with solid finance understanding, allows me to provide unique insights and practical advice for businesses, always keeping the bigger picture in view.
