About Me

Where precision meets purpose

I'm a finance professional who brings clarity to complexity. From managing the complete finance function of a fast-growing IT startup to conducting multinational audits at Ernst & Young, I've built a track record of streamlining processes, building dashboards, and delivering insights that actually move the needle.

My work sits at the intersection of analytical rigour and business storytelling — translating raw financial data into decisions that leadership can act on.

Budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, MIS dashboards — built to inform, not just report.

🌐

Multinational Audit Exposure

Led complex audits at EY across industries, applying GAAP & SOX frameworks with global teams.
