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.
📈 Problems I solve
🔹Process Improvement & Automation
🔹Slow, Unreliable Financial Close
🔹Multi-Entity Consolidation & Intercompany Eliminations

Most people schedule a meeting to discuss the problem. I'd rather solve it and send you an update.
I take ownership of content and SEO operations - the publishing, updates, QA, and maintenance work that keeps your sites running - so you can stop managing it. My long-term clients all say some version of the same thing: "once Adrian takes over, I stop worrying about it."
🏆 Top Rated | 98% Job Success | 70+ projects | 5+ years
Proof, not promises:
→ Ran content operations across a 100+ domain affiliate portfolio (iGaming) - weekly update cycles, ranking maintenance, full QA, zero errors reaching production
→ Audited a 2M+ article site with no CMS access - found 172 critical issues, delivered a phased recovery plan the client is now implementing (with me executing inside the CMS)
→ Cut a marketing agency's content production time from 5 days to 2 by rebuilding their workflow - then documented everything in an SOP library with Loom walkthroughs
→ Currently managing SEO and content operations across multiple client properties: technical fixes, schema, internal linking, PageSpeed, publishing
How I work:
I work in two formats. Monthly ownership - you hand me a defined area (a site, a portfolio, a publishing operation) and I run it: weekly delivery, written reports, issues flagged before they become problems. Or fixed-scope audits - you get a prioritized, phased action plan any developer or VA can execute; if you want, I execute it myself.
Fully async. No standups, no status calls, no chasing. If I have a question, you'll get a message. If something's wrong, you'll hear it from me first. Loom walkthroughs when something needs showing rather than telling.
Good fit if you: run an affiliate portfolio, an agency, or a content-heavy site and want the operations off your plate - permanently, not project by project.
