Helen Collins
Head of Accounting Operations
Helen leads accounting operations at STF-AI-Bureau, bringing over 20 years of financial and operational experience across retail, construction and hospitality sectors.
Her career has been grounded in practical, hands-on finance — from bookkeeping and reconciliations to supplier management, reporting structures and financial controls within fast-moving commercial environments.
This cross-industry depth enables her to understand not just accounting mechanics, but the operational realities behind the numbers — stock pressure in retail, project cost control in construction, and margin sensitivity in hospitality.
At STF-AI-Bureau, Helen oversees implementation integrity, structured reporting, reconciliations and day-to-day financial discipline across client environments.
Her focus is simple:
Financial systems must work reliably, consistently and without noise.
