Background

About Dane Blake Gobey

I am a seasoned finance professional with 17 years of experience, holding a Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) qualification and a proven track record across diverse financial roles. My career has spanned from income tax auditor to financial manager to CFO, where I (directly) led a team of 8 staff members, overseeing essential financial functions such as budgeting, performance monitoring, cashflow planning, reporting, statutory compliance, and governance. As head of finance in my two previous roles before leaving South Africa for the Netherlands, I worked closely with the senior management, exco, and the board of directors, providing strategic financial insights, along with developing and driving the organization’s strategy. Currently based in the Netherlands, I have spent the last year and a half working as a Financial Account Manager. I manage a portfolio of over 40 multinational clients, helping them navigate complex financial landscapes and ensuring optimal financial health. With expertise in reporting, strategic financial planning, and corporate governance, I bring a comprehensive, hands-on approach to managing financial operations and delivering results that drive business growth.
