I am a confident and diligent finance professional with over 20 years of skills and experience in diverse industries including the legal, publishing, events and manufacturing sectors. My unorthodox entry into accounting after success as a music educator, means that I have built my accounting career from the bottom rung of the corporate ladder, through perseverance and self-motivation, to a position where my opinions are valued and I have a clear understanding of both strategy and operations – what both drives and enables an organisation.My core skill sets include preparation of Management accounts and reports, Budgets and Forecasts, and Payroll for multi-disciplinary teams across global organisations. I have proven ability to implement financial systems and procedures, which improve P&L scenarios and increase efficiencies across multiple organisations.I find joy in working with positive people in a collaborative learning environment with a clear vision.
