I am a CIMA and MBA qualified Senior Finance Leader with significant SME experience across the Manufacturing, Technology, Telecoms and Pharmaceutical industries. Expert in providing logical, constructive challenge to commercial activity, I translate the complex into outcome-focused, option-based insights for the long-term benefit of the organisation. I have recently automated the forecast cash consolidation process for a pharmaceutical group, significantly improving process engagement, driving a conversation shift from "What are the numbers?" to "What are the actions to make the numbers better?"Prior to this I developed a plan to determine funding requirements for a telecoms company to achieve its ambitious growth plan, achieving VC funding and doubling sales per FTE while halving the team. I worked with an early stage manufacturing start-up to establish a collaborative control and decision making culture, enhancing governance and robustly managing working capital to drive successful company trade sale.By reengineering processes and implementing systems I build efficient operational capability, manage risk and impart superior governance. I am skilled at building financial models to provide an in-depth understanding of commercial activity. I embed finance into the business to impart accountability, break group-think mentality and take people along on the journey. I pride myself in driving an empowered culture of excellence to facilitate superior service delivery and enhanced commercial performance.Specialities:✔️ Financial / Management Accounting ✔️Strategic Planning ✔Risk Management / Governance ✔️Internal Controls / Policy ✔️Financial Analysis / Reporting ✔️People Management / Leadership ✔️Stakeholder Management ✔️Executive Business Partnering ✔️Budgeting / Forecasting / Cashflow ✔️Financial / Scenario Modelling ✔️Fund Raising / M&A / Due Diligence ✔️Negotiation / Constructive Challenge ✔️Change Management / Transformation ✔️Process Reengineering / Automation
