I develop and mentor accounting teams through clear goal setting, hands-on coaching, structured reviews, cross-training, and automation-focused learning, fostering accountability, technical excellence, collaboration, and a culture of continuous improvement and ownership.

What is the largest budget or financial portfolio you have managed, and how did you ensure targets were met?

I have found SAP S/4HANA, Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and Sage Intacct most effective due to their strong controls, scalability, and real-time reporting.
