With over 20 years of practical experience in accounting and finance across a variety of industries in Australia, including not-for-profit, manufacturing, and wholesale/distribution, I am a highly skilled CPA-certified accountant. Holding a Master's degree in Accounting and a post-graduate diploma in Applied Finance, I have a solid background in both financial accounting and management accounting, with experience in accounting/finance/ERP system migration. Apart from implementing and maintaining accounting standards, systems and procedures, preparing financial reports, and performing an extensive range of accounting tasks, I also focus on sharing my financial/accounting knowledge by mentoring junior finance staff and providing essential financial knowledge training to non-financial stakeholders in the organization I work for.
