About

As a finance professional with over seven years of experience spanning financial analysis, management accounts, and corporate finance, I am passionate about delivering accurate, efficient, and compliant financial operations that support business growth. Over the past two years in the UK, I have focused on payroll management and accounts payable, ensuring timely processing, vendor satisfaction, and adherence to regulatory standards. My career includes working with leading organizations such as Accenture and Publicis Sapient, where I managed high-profile financial operations, including post-merger integrations, reconciliations, and financial reporting. In my recent roles, I have: 1) Managed end-to-end payroll processes for multi-country teams, ensuring compliance with UK regulations and accuracy in employee compensation. 2) Oversaw accounts payable operations, optimized vendor relationships, and identified cost-saving opportunities, including recovering over GBP 10,000 from overpaid invoices. 3) Streamlined payment cycles and implemented process improvements that reduced manual workload and improved reporting accuracy. 4) Supported financial audits and implemented controls to enhance transparency and mitigate risks. With advanced skills in ERP systems such as SAP and Oracle, and proficiency in tools like Excel, Sage, and Xero, I excel at translating complex data into actionable insights. My focus remains on improving efficiency, reducing costs, and ensuring compliance across financial operations. Currently pursuing CIPP certification and holding credentials in business and finance modeling, I am committed to continuous learning and delivering value through robust financial management. I am particularly interested in roles where I can leverage my analytical mindset and operational expertise to optimize payroll and accounts payable processes. Let’s connect if you’re looking for a finance professional dedicated to accuracy, compliance, and operational excellence.
