Thivi Hapuarachchi

For over a decade, I have worked with several large organizations in various industries, including multinational organizations, in the capacity of a senior manager and finance manager. In these roles, I have developed a high level of proficiency in all aspects of finance management. I have also spearheaded new financial strategies and operations, financial reporting and compliance, and government reporting. These experiences have provided me with invaluable knowledge in using different accounting packages to produce financial reports, budgeting, and forecasting. This has, in turn, led me to make valuable contributions to transformational strategies for several companies.

My extensive commercial experience, including significant project and systems management background, will enable me to add great value to Herrera. Additionally, my international finance background, including reporting to the US Treasury and managing Australia-New Zealand commercial operations, adds a further dimension to what I can offer an esteemed employer. 

I have the expertise of working within a multicultural and diverse environment with various stakeholders both in Australia and overseas. I pay strong attention to detail and can multitask in a fast-paced environment. I possess excellent negotiation skills and sound subject knowledge to tackle challenging tasks. You can also be assured that I am a self-starter who can work autonomously. I have exceptional people management skills and am deeply committed to works of charity and helping people, as demonstrated by my background and relevant tertiary qualifications for the advertised role.
