As a highly skilled Financial Controller with over 7 years of experience in the retail and wholesale sectors, I specialize in managing high-volume transaction environments, optimizing inventory accounting, and ensuring flawless tax compliance. I am adept at bridging the gap between store operations, supply chain logistics, and the finance department to drive profitability and shrinkage reduction.
Chronology of Professional Experience:
Jan 2018 – Dec 2021: Financial Controller for a national retail chain with 15+ storefronts. I oversaw the accounting for all POS systems, managed the consolidation of daily cash and card reconciliations, and led the annual physical inventory audits. I successfully negotiated better payment gateway rates, saving the company €40,000 annually.
2014 – Dec 2017: Sole Accountant for a fast-growing wholesale distribution business. Handled the entire accounting cycle from AP/AR to month-end close. Implemented a new inventory management system that integrated seamlessly with our accounting software, reducing stock discrepancies by 30%.
Technical Stack & Retail Metrics:
~ Accounting & POS: Xero, QuickBooks, Lightspeed, Shopify POS, Square.
~ Analytics: Advanced Excel, Power BI (tracking same-store sales, GMROI, inventory turnover).
~ Tax & Compliance: Irish VAT returns, PAYE/PRSI, Revenue Commissioners compliance, transfer pricing.
I hold a Bachelor of Business Studies from University College Dublin (UCD) and am an ACCA affiliate. I am highly responsible, detail-oriented, and capable of working autonomously in a fast-paced environment. I am seeking a fully remote Financial Controller position based in Dublin, targeting a salary of €75,000 EUR.
