Sonya Khade

A highly experienced Finance, Accounting and Procurement professional with over 15 years' cross-sector expertise, including leadership roles in local government, NHS, private healthcare and infrastructure. Specializing in financial transformation, strategic planning, systems implementation, and contract management, I have led major change programmes and finance teams through periods of reform and growth.

My career has focused on enabling organisations to improve performance through sound financial strategy, regulatory compliance, and process optimisation. I bring a wealth of experience in budget setting, ERP systems, statutory reporting, and multi-agency stakeholder collaboration. As a CIMA-qualified mentor, I am passionate about sharing my knowledge with SMEs, startups, and public sector professionals looking to navigate financial challenges, improve operational efficiency, or scale sustainably.
I offer mentees practical insight into real-world finance and procurement challenges, as well as supportive guidance in business planning, financial governance and digital transformation.

Business top-tip

Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business – manage it daily, not monthly. A healthy profit on paper means nothing if you can't pay your bills. Build simple, forward-looking cash flow models, keep reserves where possible, and treat financial discipline as a daily habit, not a year-end panic.
