About Me

Finance and systems leader with 13+ years in logistics and container freight station (CFS) operations. I combine controllership discipline with hands-on ERP, reporting, and automation delivery—so leadership sees reliable numbers and teams spend less time on repetitive work.

Career journey

Built depth across accounts payable and receivable, financial planning, budgeting, and month-end close in high-volume freight and warehousing environments. Progressed from execution-heavy accounting roles into owning MIS, dashboards, and cross-functional process design where finance meets operations and IT.

Current role

As Manager – Finance & Accounts (including MIS), I oversee financial reporting integrity, management reporting packs, system configuration aligned to business rules, and initiatives that tighten procure-to-pay and order-to-cash cycles. I partner with leadership on forecasts, capital and Opex discipline, and clarity on working capital and customer exposure.

Leadership & mindset

I prioritize clear ownership, documented processes, and measurable outcomes. Technology is a lever—not a substitute—for sound controls and stakeholder alignment. I grow teams by reducing ambiguity: standard definitions, repeatable closes, and tools that scale.

Projects & Impact

Selected work focused on systems, data, and measurable business outcomes—not slide decks.

NetSuite

Customer Ageing Report (Suitelet)

Problem
Collections and credit decisions relied on fragmented exports and ad-hoc spreadsheets. AR ageing was slow to refresh and hard to slice by customer, entity, or bucket—raising DSO risk and inconsistent follow-up.
Solution
Designed and deployed a NetSuite Suitelet–based ageing view with governed filters and consistent bucket logic tied to live subledger data, replacing manual assembly of reports each cycle.
Tools
Oracle NetSuite, SuiteScript / Suitelet, saved searches, role-based access.
Business impact
Faster, trusted visibility into overdue balances; aligned credit and finance on one definition of “ageing”; reduced time spent reconciling spreadsheet versions before management reviews.
FP&A

5-Year Financial Budget Model

Problem
Annual budgets were difficult to stress-test across volume, rate, and cost drivers. Leadership lacked a single model to link operational assumptions to P&L, cash, and key ratios over a multi-year horizon.
Solution
Built a driver-based five-year model with transparent assumptions, scenario toggles, and outputs suitable for board and lender-style discussions—anchored to historical actuals and clear bridge logic.
Tools
Excel / financial modelling, management reporting templates, variance narratives.
Business impact
Shorter budget cycles with fewer reconciliation breaks; clearer trade-offs between growth, margin, and capex; stronger foundation for forecasting updates and capital requests.
P2P

PO–GRN–Vendor Bill Tracking System

Problem
Three-way match gaps between purchase orders, goods receipts (GRN), and vendor bills caused payment delays, duplicate payment risk, and audit findings in a high-transaction logistics environment.
Solution
Defined end-to-end match rules and exception workflows; implemented tracking views and controls so open GRNs, unmatched bills, and accrual gaps were visible before month-end close.
Tools
ERP / NetSuite procurement & AP modules, reporting, process documentation.
Business impact
Improved on-time payment discipline with fewer unmatched postings; cleaner accruals; reduced vendor queries and rework for operations and finance.
RPA

Bank Reconciliation Automation (UiPath)

Problem
High-volume bank lines and gateway postings consumed significant manual effort each week, with risk of missed items and late identification of discrepancies.
Solution
Automated extraction, matching, and exception routing using UiPath RPA against defined reconciliation rules—with logging, handoff to analysts for exceptions only, and guardrails around sensitive data.
Tools
UiPath, bank feeds / statements, ERP cash & GL mapping, exception queues.
Business impact
Material reduction in repetitive reconciliation time; faster detection of outliers; more capacity redirected to analysis, controls, and month-end priorities.
MIS

MIS Dashboard for Management Reporting

Problem
Leadership meetings drew from multiple static reports with inconsistent KPI definitions. Decisions on volume, yield, and cost were slowed by “which number is official?”
Solution
Consolidated critical operational and financial KPIs into a governed MIS dashboard: single definitions, refresh cadence, and drill paths from summary to supporting detail where the ERP allows.
Tools
Reporting stack (ERP + Excel/Power BI or equivalent as deployed), data validation, narrative pack.
Business impact
Shorter prep for reviews; aligned management on one set of metrics; earlier visibility into margin and utilization trends affecting CFS performance.
