Description

I help growing businesses and finance teams keep their numbers accurate, costs visible, and reporting reliable during busy periods or change.

I provide part-time, delivery-focused finance support for businesses that need experienced hands without committing to a full-time hire. My focus is on bringing clarity and stability to financial information so decisions can be made with confidence.

I have over six years’ experience supporting finance operations and reporting across financial services, fintech start-ups, regulated multi-entity environments, and publicly funded organisations. This includes working with fast-growing teams, development programmes, and complex funding structures where accuracy and control matter.

Typical support includes month-end close assistance, reconciliations, accruals and prepayments, cost and overhead analysis, budget vs actual reporting, and clear variance explanations. I am often engaged to stabilise reporting where backlogs, inconsistencies, or capacity gaps exist.

I work alongside existing finance teams on clearly scoped engagements, providing reliable interim support that reduces pressure and improves confidence in financial reporting. Available evenings and weekends for part-time, remote work.
