Finance and operations Transformation, SOP & Governance Strategist
Finance and operations functions that survive audits, scale-ups, and everything in between.

Finance and operations teams often run on tribal knowledge, some processes exist in people's heads, not in documented, auditable systems. That works until an audit, a departure, a donor review, or a scale-up exposes the gap. I close that gap: designing SOPs, control matrices, and governance frameworks that a real team can follow, that auditors sign off on, and that survive staff turnover.
Experience spans the UN system (WFP, UNDP, UN-HABITAT), international corporate (Marks & Spencer Sourcing), and SME advisory (V-Ignite Virtual CFO practice) across Sri Lanka and multi-country programmes.
