I Build Things That Run Themselves.
Chief Financial Officer and Chartered Professional Accountant who doesn’t just run the numbers — builds the systems behind them. I design processes, automate the tedious, and put the right technology in place so companies can scale without chaos.
“I like to tinker, fidget, make better, automate — and watch things run. That instinct is what makes me a different kind of CFO: one who can design the process, build the system, and hand off something that actually works.”— DIYAccountant
What I Do
CFO & Financial Leadership
Strategic finance leadership for growing companies — building the financial infrastructure, controls, and reporting that let leadership make confident decisions at speed.
Process & Systems Design
CA CPA who designs processes from first principles. If a workflow requires humans to do something a computer should do, it gets rebuilt — cleaner, faster, and auditable.
ERP Implementation & Migration
Led full migrations including NetSuite to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, with an accountant’s eye for data accuracy and process integrity at every step.
Business Process Automation
Built Power Automate flows connecting Business Central Web Services via oAuth2.0 — integrations Microsoft’s own documentation barely covers.
Business Intelligence & Reporting
PowerBI dashboards that give leadership real-time visibility into the numbers — no waiting for month-end reporting cycles.
Making & Tinkering
Home automation with Home Assistant, woodworking, PowerShell scripting. The same itch to optimise a business process also shows up in the workshop.
