What I'm looking for

I am looking for a remote finance role in a dynamic organization that values collaboration and innovation.

I am a detail-oriented finance professional with over 10 years of experience in budgeting, forecasting, operational management, and bookkeeping across the insurance and real estate sectors. I have a proven track record of improving cash flow by recovering 85% of outstanding debts and reducing paperwork by 80% through the implementation of a streamlined accounting system. My proficiency in credit control, tax filing, and financial reporting, combined with strong capabilities in QuickBooks and reconciliations, enables me to contribute effectively to any organization.

In my current role as an Administrative and Finance Officer at Lidman Investment Company Ltd, I have increased financial visibility by preparing accurate financial reports, which enable timely decision-making by board members. I have also strengthened internal controls by establishing accounting policies and procedures, resulting in measurable revenue increases. My ability to work effectively in virtual environments has allowed me to support remote collaboration through digital tools for resource allocation and financial reporting.
