A CPA who builds the systems rather than just signing off on them, bringing automation and AI into finance and operations across industries and markets.
I am one of the few. A CPA paired with a Computer Science engineer's hands, I take finance and operations, at any size or stage, and turn them into systems that scale: cleaner data, automation and AI where it counts, and governance that holds to external-audit standard. The same operating model, proven across very different industries.
Re-applied a Japanese quick‑service kitchen workflow model to automotive service‑workshop operations.
Adapted a workshop labour-hours and utilisation system to manage a remote, multi‑country Account Management team.
Ported a per-job profitability framework into an e‑commerce coaching and consulting delivery model.
Aligned finance, accounting and operations to the industry benchmark, every structure fully compliant and audit‑ready.
Rebuilt an unstructured early-stage finance and operations foundation and engineered it to scale through systems rather than headcount, building the base its next growth phase runs on.
Recruited mid-COVID into a business in disarray; stabilised it and grew turnover from $70M to over $110M. Lifted reporting to a fully auditable, industry‑benchmark standard (GPFR), reinvented the commission model, and led the expansion that added $40M+.
Aligned a tri-national board (TW/JP/AU) on a single agenda; won approval for a $3.5M investment case and full product relaunch; re-engineered the supply chain and launched $800K+ export streams.
Re-architected and digitised the third-party-logistics (3PL) operation for a $5M auto‑parts importer, replacing error-prone paper-based processes with a live order-tracking system that closed the gross-profit leakage from compensation claims and rework.
Began career client-facing at one of Taiwan's largest financial groups, turning market analysis into client strategy for retail and high‑net‑worth investors.
AI can translate words. It cannot align a Taiwanese founder, a Japanese board and an Australian team around one plan. I am genuinely fluent across all three cultures and the management styles that come with them, and reconciling those expectations into a single agenda is the part of this work that stays human.
Full accountability for complex, multi‑site P&Ls, with growth and turnaround across the cycle.
End-to-end turnarounds, restructuring and scaling across multiple sectors.
Governed automation across reconciliation, audit, forecasting and close, control‑first.
Holding every structure to industry‑benchmark standards (such as GPFR and AASB 15), audit‑ready, with audit management (PwC, BDO) and board relations.
Personally deployed end‑to‑end systems, owning the rollout directly with vendors and IT.
Aligning boards, investors and senior teams behind a single commercial agenda.
