ABOUT STEPHEN MCALISKEY
I am a Chartered Accountant with a strong track record of success across both practice and industry. My experience spans audit, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, financial analysis, and process improvement. I bring a balanced mix of technical accounting expertise and a passion for data-driven decision-making.After graduating with an LL.B in 2013, I completed an MSc in Management and Corporate Governance in 2014. I qualified as a Chartered Accountant with Chartered Accountants Ireland (CAI) in 2018 following my training with PwC, where I worked with a diverse client base across multiple industries—gaining invaluable insights and a broad foundation in financial best practices.From 2018 to 2021, I worked in Group Finance at Sebela Pharmaceuticals, where I gained significant industry experience in group reporting, financial processes, budgeting and forecasting, audits, and various high-impact projects.I then progressed to a leadership role at Life Scientific Limited, where I have been instrumental in managing the month-end close and year-end audit processes, as well as preparing annual budgets and long-term business plans. I’ve helped build and strengthen financial controls, led the group consolidation process, and introduced new systems and tools to enhance data analysis and support strategic business decisions.Highly motivated and results-driven, I’m a collaborative team player who embraces every opportunity to contribute to organisational success. I’m always looking for ways to improve processes and drive efficiencies. In 2020, I earned a distinction in the Diploma in IFRS, underlining my commitment to continuous learning and technical excellence. In addition to strong financial reporting skills, I have developed advanced capabilities in Excel, data modelling, and Power BI through extensive self-learning.By combining deep financial knowledge with business analytics, I aim to provide clear, visual insights that help businesses make smarter, faster decisions.
