If you need a Financial Controller who has run the Finance & Accounts function inside a global banking institution, a US-based asset management firm, and a Big 4 audit practice and can bring that same institutional standard to your business you are in the right place. I am a Financial Controller with an MAcc qualification. I have headed Finance & Accounts for the branch of a global banking group, led the Financial Control function for a US-based asset management firm reporting directly to leadership abroad, conducted Big 4 statutory audits of major banks and financial services clients, and began my career in Product Control at a global investment bank running P&L reconciliation for trading desks across international markets. That depth of institutional experience is now available to your business at a fraction of a full-time hire. ๐Ÿ“ˆ Problems I solve ๐Ÿ”นProcess Improvement & Automation ๐Ÿ”นSlow, Unreliable Financial Close ๐Ÿ”นMulti-Entity Consolidation & Intercompany Eliminations ๐Ÿ”นIFRS Compliance & Financial Reporting ๐Ÿ”นAudit Management & Internal Controls ๐Ÿ”นAccounting infrastructure & GAAP Compliance โœ… What a Fractional Controller engagement delivers 1-Institutional-standard financial close and month-end / year-end management 2- Multi-entity consolidation, intercompany eliminations and P&L reconciliation 3- IFRS/GAAP-compliant financial statements and CFO-ready management accounts 4- Audit-ready internal controls and general ledger governance 5- GAAP-standardized chart of accounts and accounting infrastructure 6- Historical financial data migration and cleanup 7- Tax-ready financial statements and year-end tax preparation ๐Ÿ’ป Software Fluency NetSuite .

Transfer Pricing + SIT I prepare and submit Transfer Pricing studies and Summary Information Tables (SIT) so your company stays compliant and avoids tax risks. 2. Financial Due Diligence (QoE) I support buy-side and sell-side due diligence, including Quality of Earnings analysis. I review financials, identify risks, and deliver clear reports that help you make confident decisions. 3. IFRS FS Prep & Compliance I prepare and sign accurate IFRS financial statements and support statutory audits so you stay compliant without delays. We are a perfect match if you: 1. Need reliable support with IFRS financial statements, audits, or due diligence 2. Want clear and professional reporting that helps you make better decisions 3. Are looking for someone accurate, fast, and easy to communicate with 4. Want to avoid the high costs of big accounting firms 5. Need help with compliance work, such as Transfer Pricing and SIT 6.
