About me

I have over nine years of experience in financial management, reconciliations, forecasting, and reporting, with expertise in bank reconciliations and tax regulations. My background in accounting, financial planning, and audit support makes me well-suited to assist Cocoon Kids - Creative Counselling and Play Therapy CIC in strengthening financial resilience.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with financial systems like SAP and QuickBooks, ensuring compliance with GDPR. I have experience in budgeting, financial forecasting, and managing cash flow, all of which are crucial in supporting a non-profit organisation’s sustainability. Additionally, my ability to identify cost-saving measures and research financial support packages will help Cocoon Kids navigate challenges posed by Covid-19 and the cost-of-living crisis.

Beyond my professional work, I have volunteered as a Community Finance Mentor, helping small businesses and marginalised communities improve their financial literacy. I am deeply passionate about mental health and child wellbeing, and I believe that financial stability plays a key role in delivering essential services. I am excited to volunteer and apply my skills to support Cocoon Kids' mission of providing therapeutic services for children and families in need.

What am I looking for

I am particularly interested in finance and administrative volunteering roles that support non-profits, mental health organisations, and community development initiatives. My expertise in financial management, budgeting, and forecasting allows me to help organisations strengthen financial resilience, improve cash flow, and ensure compliance. I am passionate about causes related to mental health, child wellbeing, and education, and I want to use my skills to help charities and CICs access funding, manage finances effectively, and continue delivering vital services to those in need.
