As a collaborative senior finance leader and ACCA chartered accountant with a wealth of experience building and leading best practice finance functions, I have developed a wide-ranging skill set, underpinned by commercial acumen, operational strengths and rigorous accounting expertise.Career highlights include early experience handling a complex post-acquisition integration for the prominent broker ICAP, then transforming the quality of management information in a key cost area at GFI Group. Since 2014, I’ve been at the head of a modernisation programme at TS Lombard, leading a cohesive finance team that has been key to major improvements in financial efficiency and strategic decision-making.My core strengths lie in designing then implementing reporting solutions that provide accurate, insightful management information, collaborating with executive teams and supporting businesses as a trusted advisor and accounting expert.Over the course of my career, I’ve learned the importance of a people-first approach characterised by open, transparent communication and a focus on the commercial big picture. As a hands-on troubleshooter, I enjoy diving into the detail to ensure smooth development of robust, lean and efficient processes and systems.Driven by values of curiosity and continual skills development, I adopt an adaptable, empathetic management style to drive performance, productivity and accountability, an instrumental element in creating effective finance teams.As a natural networker, I’m always keen to strengthen my network with new connections – please get in touch at Prajay40@gmail.com.Specialities:♦ Board Reporting & Analysis, Governance, Control, Audit, Tax, Financial Accounting.♦ Financial Strategy, Management Information, FP&A, Forecasts, Budgets.♦ Finance Transformation, Growth, M&A, Turnarounds, Cost Reduction, Right-sizing.♦ Team building, talent Management, Training, Coaching, Mentoring.
