What I'm looking for

Open to opportunities that are versatile and allow me to be more than just an accountant, with opportunities to learn about the business, and enabling transfers across divisions to share knowledge and improve learning and development in other areas such as compliance and IT.

I have over 10 years' experience supporting companies in the oil & gas industry in Nigeria and US with supply and service contracts of equipment and personnel.

I have an MBA and CPA with the State of California, with diverse educational experience in the US & UK.

Over the years, I have had the opportunity to lead a team and support projects including a $70+ million platform construction project in Nigeria, serving as the local project and finance manager managing stakeholders across Europe and US.

I enjoy working with people and for people, identifying ways to improve processes or provide solutions that add value for individuals or the business.

Currently looking for a remote role that allows me the flexibility of working from anywhere in the world, particularly interested in the fintech or technology industry with so much to learn in that field.
