Background

About Brian Deane

I am an experienced Financial Accountant / Analyst and have held roles in finance teams of global brands such as Red Hat, Vodafone, Optus and Doosan, working in Australia, Ireland and mainland Europe. Throughout my career I have always been passionate about establishing relationships and collaborating with different business functions to understand issues, find solutions and build processes that improve the reporting of financial results. While I enjoy working as part of a team, I am a dedicated and highly motivated person who can work independently on projects as required. I have worked in small, medium and large organizations, thriving in roles where I have had the opportunity to develop the position and to lead and mentor colleagues. Over my career, I have worked on many process improvement initiatives in the Record to Report value stream, including report development and systems testing. In addition to this I have worked on cutting edge working capital management initiatives, and on delivering financial reports to deadline. I have over 20 years’ experience, mainly in the telecommunications, media and IT sectors, completing my CPA qualification in 2002.
