What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters professional growth and values teamwork.

I am a dedicated financial professional with a Master's degree in Accounting and Finance from the University of Gondar, where I graduated with a CGPA of 3.79. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in financial principles, and I have honed my skills through various certifications, including International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and Corporate Finance.

In my current role as Lead Accountant at Capital Financial Excellence Center, I am responsible for preparing internal and external financial reports, managing finances, and ensuring tax compliance. My previous experience as a Senior Accountant at Bridge of Hope Children's Village allowed me to develop comprehensive financial reports and manage the finance section effectively. I have also contributed to academia as a part-time lecturer, sharing my knowledge and expertise with students.
