Candidate overview

CIMA-qualified finance professional with 5+ years’ experience across manufacturing, engineering, and large-scale infrastructure services. Has supported businesses ranging from £17m cost centres to £230m+ inventory portfolios, combining strong technical reporting skills with commercial know-how.

Currently operating in a commercial finance role for a major transport and engineering group, owning forecasts, budgets, and month-end reporting — and presenting regularly to Ops and Commercial Directors. Leads a small team and has supported both internal and external audits, all while driving better cost control and decision-making across the business.

Previous roles span management accounting and project finance across global engineering and manufacturing environments — including acting as the sole UK finance contact for a specialist digital rail business and supporting SAP rollouts overseas. Built strong foundations in financial controls, stakeholder engagement, and strategic insight from an early stage.

A confident presenter, hands-on analyst, and natural problem solver — thrives in fast-paced, technically complex settings.
