Chartered Accountant | Contract Financial Controller|
3–6 Month Engagements to Stabilise Reporting, Strengthen Financial Controls and Improve Decision-Making
I work with directors and business owners who need stronger financial control - without committing to a permanent hire.
As a New Zealand Chartered Accountant, I specialise in 3–6 month engagements focused on stabilising reporting, strengthening internal controls, and improving commercial discipline.
I am typically engaged when:
• Reporting lacks clarity
• Budgets aren’t controlled
• Cashflow visibility is weak
• Governance structures need tightening
• Risk exposure is increasing
My approach is direct, analytical and commercially grounded. I don’t just prepare reports — I build systems that protect directors and improve performance.
Here is how I helped clients:
Identified $800k annual FBT savings for large group structure
Improved entity performance by $90k through accounting review
Stabilised finance function after entire team resignation
Delivered monthly reporting across 29 entities
Signs Your Business Has Outgrown Its Finance Function
• Month-end takes more than 7 days
• Directors receive inconsistent reports
• Cashflow surprises occur
• Budget accountability is unclear
• Finance team lacks structure
I help fix that.
