What I'm looking for

I seek finance roles supporting program operations and compliance, with opportunities for capacity building, greater responsibility in budgeting/grants, and collaborative, mission-driven teams.

I am a finance officer with hands-on experience managing daily accounting operations, financial reporting, reconciliations, payroll, and fund transfers for international programs. I have supported program continuity by liaising with banks, supervising field finance teams, and ensuring timely processing of project expenses and advances.

My background includes roles as a Finance Officer at FHI 360 and Cashier/Finance Assistant at AMIDEAST, where I developed skills in budget vs. actual analysis, cash management, and compliance with organizational and donor requirements. I have also completed training in USAID grants and MEAL procedures and received internal recognition for outstanding work.

I work well under pressure, focus on continuous improvement, and bring strong communication, problem-solving, and project-management abilities to support accurate financial tracking and operational efficiency.
