As a Fellow Member of ACCA and nearing completion of my ICAP qualification, I combine strong technical expertise with leadership and stakeholder engagement skills.

At Sky UK, I managed quarterly assurance engagements, strengthened governance frameworks, and delivered actionable insights that influenced remediation of high‑risk issues and supported acquisition and refinancing projects. At PwC, I directed statutory audits, group consolidations, and transfer pricing reviews for multinational clients, leading teams of 20+ and streamlining reporting processes to improve efficiency. At KPMG, I gained international exposure through assignments in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, building a strong foundation in statutory audits, risk assessment, and client relationship management.

Recognised consistently as a High Performer, I bring advanced proficiency in SAP FI‑CO, Oracle Fusion, Magnitude, Power BI, Tableau, Alteryx, and Excel, enabling me to transform complex data into clear, actionable insights. My career reflects a balance of technical excellence, team leadership, and process improvement, with a strong motivation to contribute to purpose‑led organisations and deliver meaningful impact.
