Detail-oriented assistant accountant with four years' experience in private and NGO sectors.
What I'm looking for
I am a confident, self-driven accounting professional with a Bachelor of Commerce (Finance) and CPA Part 1 certification. I adapt quickly to changing accounting demands and new technologies to improve accuracy and efficiency.
Over four years I served as an assistant accountant and cashier across private and NGO settings, where I processed transactions, reconciled accounts, and supported senior accountants on finance projects. I maintained strict cash controls and ensured transaction accuracy.
My strengths include standards of accounting, data entry, regulatory knowledge, reconciliations, and data analysis. I am recognized for attention to detail, effective communication, and critical thinking in fast-paced retail and service environments.
I seek opportunities to deepen my accounting expertise, contribute to financial integrity, and support organizational growth through reliable financial operations and collaborative teamwork.
