I am a commercially focused Finance Manager with 7+ years of experience leading the finance function within the technology sector. I specialise in cashflow management, budgeting and forecasting, management reporting, and supporting directors with data-driven decision-making in fast-paced SME and scale-up environments. Currently, I oversee end-to-end finance operations, including monthly management accounts, cost control, payroll oversight, compliance, and strategic financial planning to support sustainable growth and operational efficiency. I work closely with senior leadership to improve financial visibility, strengthen controls, and drive performance. I hold a Postgraduate qualification in Accounting & Finance Management, and I am ACCA part-qualified, combining strong technical foundations with a practical, commercial mindset. I am particularly experienced in working with tech businesses and remote-first teams, and I add the most value where finance is used as a strategic tool — not just a reporting function.
