Successful business owners and entrepreneurs are striving to market and sell their products and services within a competitive and challenging world, and don't have the time or resources to heavily engage in the financials.

The Accountancy profession isn't a world to which many non-accountants can relate.  Record keeping, debits and credits, taxation rules, imports and exports, financial reporting... we've studied it for years and keep abreast of changes in legislation as part of our continued professional development.

Experienced as an ACA-qualified Accounting professional, I bring my enthusiastic and charismatic charm to presenting the relevant information to clients - current and prospective - in an engaging and down-to-earth way.

Personable by nature, I am a lover of musical theatre, crime stories and spending time with my family - I bring a new definition to being a creative accountant.  I am an accountant who enjoys creating and being there for my creative clients.  We work together to solve problems, discuss reporting options and tax saving opportunities.

Working on building the world's best payment engine, #Vault Payments. 

Vault Payments is the first and only payment engine that is designed to process any payment type, anywhere in the world, whether A2A, cards or new payment types. 

I had the privilege to see this amazing product grow from an idea to a fully fledged powerful platform that will change the way banks process payments.

Together with the bank's IT team, we delivered dozens of new product features, integrated the Dovetail System platform with the bank's stack and successfully deployed SEPA, SWIFT and T2 rails to production.

Associate Project Manager

I’ve worked for some of the leading software vendors in the payments domain, filling a key role in large scale transformation programs helping clients to transition from their legacy software to new platforms, as well as in greenfield projects, scoping and defining new products from the planning stage, through development and all the way to product launch. 

Having worked for 2 market-leading payments-hub vendors, on projects with the world’s largest payment processing banks, I possess unparalleled knowledge about core banking,  payment processing, and the workings of payment engines. This encompasses payment receipt from retail channels as well as corporate files, payment validation activities, dating and scheduling, orchestration of payment processing stages and their integration with systems - core banking system and ledgers, Fx, fees and billing, AML and sanctions, creating posting using complex accounting models involving multiple internal accounts. 

I have deep knowledge of all payment types and schemes: RTGS, Correspondent banking, clearing systems, instant payments, and cards. I led implementations of payment systems including SWIFT, TARGET2, SEPA (CT and DD), Faster Payments, BACS, Mastercard, and others.

I understand the technical aspects of the software development lifecycle, which allows me to be very effective in bridging the gap between business and engineering stakeholders, as well as engaging with C suite, enterprise architects, and business unit managers. I have operated at these levels in a variety of activities ranging from pre-sales engagements, workshops, demonstrations, partnerships, and go-live.
