Clarity and rigour in reporting
Technical accounting and sustainability reporting for complex businesses
I work with listed and large private groups that need accurate, defensible reporting in complex regulatory environments. My focus is on sustainability reporting and technical accounting for sectors under scrutiny. I am immediately available for permanent, interim and contract roles.
“Financial reporting and sustainability governance are no longer separate disciplines. They are two sides of the same coin.
I am a senior finance leader with over 25 years’ experience advising Boards and Audit & Risk Committees. Uniquely, I combine deep technical accounting expertise (IFRS, US GAAP and UK GAAP) with sustainability governance (CSRD/ESRS, UK SRS, GRI and others).”
