What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters teamwork and supports career growth.

I am a part qualified ACCA candidate with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting with Management. My professional journey has equipped me with extensive experience in external audit, compliance, and all aspects of accounts receivable, accounts payable, and payroll. I have successfully managed VAT returns, bank reconciliations, and provided support for management with various administrative duties. Currently, I am serving as an Accounts Administrator at Aqua Technologies EU Ltd, where I prepare sales invoices, manage credit control, and conduct internal audits on payroll processes.

Previously, I worked as a Finance Officer for an NGO, where I prepared the organization for its first audit, managed project budgets, and ensured timely payroll processing. My role involved maintaining accurate financial records and collaborating with field teams to ensure seamless communication of financial data. I have also gained valuable experience as an Accountant at TresHaw International School, where I prepared financial reports and managed payroll processing. My diverse background in finance has honed my analytical and organizational skills, making me a valuable asset to any organization.
