Background

About Himath de Silva

I am a detail-oriented and results-driven finance professional with a strong foundation in accounting, financial analysis, and data-driven decision-making. With a Bachelor of Business Information Systems (Business Analysis major) from Swinburne University of Technology and over 2 years of hands-on experience in finance and accounting roles, I’ve developed the skills to deliver timely, accurate, and actionable insights that support strategic business decisions. In my current role as an Assistant Accountant at IDT Australia Ltd, I’ve owned and executed full month-end close processes, led large-scale inventory clean-up initiatives, and supported audit readiness with confidence. I’m highly proficient in SAP B1, Power BI, and Excel, and I have consistently delivered process improvements and cost-saving outcomes across finance operations. Key Achievements Closed month-end processes across key areas (Revenue, COGS, Inventory, Accruals) within 2 working days. Built real-time dashboards in Power BI for ELT, covering cash flow, working capital, and manufacturing variances. Reclassified and cleared over $200K of obsolete inventory, improving warehouse efficiency and cost recognition. Supported audit cycles by compiling timely, accurate reports for internal and external stakeholders. Conducted vendor and cost analysis in SAP, inactivating 69% of dormant vendors and improving cash conversion. I bring a strong blend of technical systems knowledge and commercial insight, enabling me to work effectively across finance, operations, and business units. I’m passionate about using data and process improvement to support business performance, and I’m actively seeking growth opportunities in Finance Analyst or Accountant roles where I can continue to contribute and learn.
