Move Beyond My Potentials – Relocate to a new country, pursue studies in a diverse field to become a well-rounded accounting and financial profession. This transition marks a pivotal progression in my career journey with integrating technical expertise and international exposure, where I aspire to drive continuous improvement, achieve noteworthy milestones, and derive professional fulfillment. I hold the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) designations from both CPA Ontario and HKICPA, backed by more than 15 years of comprehensive experience in external auditing, in-house accounting and financial reporting. Throughout my career, I have devoted 9 years to specializing in the airline and travel industry, demonstrating in-depth expertise in this sector. Additionally, I have accumulated 5 years of experience in leadership roles, further enhancing my ability to drive strategic financial and operational initiatives. In addition to mastering the technical proficiency expected from an accounting professional, my career has been distinguished by my achievements in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system migrations and process improvement initiatives. My work experience spans the entire spectrum of ERP system migration, encompassing audit, system and interface design, testing, implementation, data migration, post go-live support and user training. Additionally, my team contributed to the successful reduction of reporting time by five business days through the establishment of a centralized function dedicated to handling repetitive duties with a focus on standardization, bolster efficiency and achieve cost savings. I am a seasoned manager leveraging effective interpersonal and organizational skills to cultivate collaboration and establish robust partnerships across diverse stakeholders. My proficiency in accounting, coupled with a keen business acumen, showcases my strong analytical aptitude and problem-solving capability. These competencies empower me to contribute effectively to strategic business decisions, identify opportunities for improvement, and drive sustainable growth. Dedicated to achieving high professional standards, adept time management and ongoing self-improvement, I am passionate about fostering growth and excellence, and thriving in dynamic and challenging environments - system migration, process improvement, new country, new learning – these opportunities and challenges have equipped me to be a flexible and resilient individual and team player.
