Professional Summary
A high-impact Finance Professional with a rare combination of technical depth and accounting rigour. Expert in architecting automated finance functions that leverage AI, Python, and SQL to eliminate manual overhead and build scalable solutions for multi-jurisdictional operations. I specialise in bridging the gap between C-Suite strategy and technical execution, transforming finance from a cost center into a lean, data-driven engine. Proven track record in managing global functions and overseeing complex financial roadmaps across the UK, Singapore, and Europe.
Automation Expertise
Process automation
End-to-end automation across close, AP/AR, and reporting using VBA, Python, n8n[2], and bespoke scripts, including large production n8n estates for Institute of Free Technology (IFT) finance operations.[8] Focus on eliminating repetitive work and hardening controls, whether or not AI is in the loop.
AI & LLM integration
Designing autonomous LLM workflows for reconciliation, monitoring, and reporting - integrated with finance systems rather than bolted on. Practical use of modern models and tooling inside governed, production-grade pipelines.
Systems & APIs
Deep work with Sage Intacct, Iplicit, Xero, and custom API layers so accounting, treasury, and product stacks exchange clean data without manual exports or spreadsheet risk. Example public demo: FX Board, a rates reference for month-end and multicurrency alignment built for IFT.[4]
