I am an experienced finance professional with a strong background in Capital Expenditure. In my capacity as a Central Business Analyst, I have prepared comprehensive 5-year plans for both the UK and MLE value chain of TATA STEEL EUROPE, overseeing more than 700 projects with a combined annual budget of £300-£400m. This role also offers me the opportunity to support sustainability projects in the UK. My academic background in BSc Accounting and Finance, followed by MSc Strategic Accounting, built a foundation of theory into accounting standards (UK FRS and IFRS) and GAAP, plus the ability to analyse auditory problems which existed within companies, the potential risks they carried & understand the importance of auditor's ethical principles. My studies were accredited by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), resulting in me receiving part-qualified accountant qualifications.
