Senior Financial Accountant

VCFO | Expert Bookkeeper | QBO Advanced Certified ProAdvisor

With 18 years of post-qualification experience and a distinguished FCCA designation from the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants in the United Kingdom (ACCA UK), I bring a wealth of expertise in financial management to the table. Throughout my career, I have consistently held key leadership positions, most notably as a CFO, where I have played a pivotal role in steering medium and small-sized companies to success.

Notably, I have spent three years working directly with USA clients as a CFO and Senior Bookkeeper in a prominent CPA company. This invaluable experience provided me with deep insights into the intricacies of U.S. financial and regulatory systems, further enhancing my ability to deliver results on an international scale.

My professional journey has been defined by a passion for solving complex financial challenges and providing innovative solutions to enhance business performance. I have a proven track record of effectively managing cross-functional teams, fostering collaboration, and achieving strategic objectives. My experience extends beyond technical proficiency; I also emphasize the importance of soft skills, which are instrumental in building strong professional relationships and ensuring the seamless execution of financial strategies.

My commitment to financial excellence and a keen understanding of the unique demands facing medium and small-sized businesses have allowed me to make a meaningful impact on the organizations I've served. I continue to be dedicated to driving financial success and facilitating sustainable growth for the companies I work with.
