I am a highly analytical and detail-oriented professional with extensive experience in financial management, regulatory compliance, customer due diligence (CDD), transaction monitoring, customer service, office management, and data analysis. My background combines operational efficiency with regulatory awareness, enabling me to manage financial processes while ensuring strict adherence to compliance frameworks.

Financial Management

I possess strong knowledge of financial controls, budgeting oversight, reconciliation processes, and risk mitigation. I understand the importance of financial accuracy, audit trails, and transparent reporting to prevent discrepancies and maintain organisational integrity.

Customer Due Diligence (CDD) & Compliance

I have hands-on experience applying CDD principles in line with regulatory requirements, including identity verification, risk profiling, enhanced due diligence (EDD), and ongoing monitoring. I understand AML frameworks and regulatory expectations set by bodies such as the about:blank and guidance aligned with about:blank standards. I am confident in identifying red flags, assessing risk exposure, and ensuring compliance with internal policies and external regulations.

Transaction Monitoring

I am experienced in reviewing transactional activity to detect unusual patterns, potential fraud indicators, and suspicious behaviour. My approach is evidence-based, combining data review with contextual analysis to ensure proportionate and defensible decision-making.

Customer Service & Complaints Handling

With strong communication and investigative skills, I handle customer interactions professionally and empathetically, particularly in complex or escalated cases. I am experienced in drafting clear, structured responses and ensuring outcomes are fair, well-reasoned, and compliant with regulatory expectations.

Office Management & Operational Oversight

I have the ability to manage administrative workflows, maintain accurate documentation, coordinate internal processes, and ensure smooth day-to-day office operations. I prioritise organisation, confidentiality, and efficiency.

Data Science & Analytical Skills

I apply data-driven thinking to problem-solving, using structured analysis to identify trends, measure risk, and support decision-making. I am comfortable working with datasets, interpreting patterns, and presenting findings in a clear and actionable format.
