ACA | FP&A & Strategic Planning | Cost Optimization & CFO
Strategy beats data. But without the right financial model, budgets, and oversight, strategy stays a spreadsheet. I'm a Chartered Accountant (ACA) who helps business leaders turn financial complexity into competitive advantage. My work bridges FP&A, operational cost control, and fractional CFO support — building the complete financial foundation that drives profitable growth. What I deliver: → Financial models and budgets for complete business visibility and control → Cost optimization and P&L diagnostics that surface real margin drivers → Strategic planning with hands-on CFO guidance and KPI frameworks → Post-costing analytics and operational efficiency modeling → M&A due diligence and transaction support Trusted by business leaders, manufacturers, and scaling operations who want clarity, control, and the financial confidence to execute strategy.
