What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can apply ERP expertise, lead accurate financial reporting and grants compliance, contribute to process improvements, and grow into broader finance or operations leadership.

I am an experienced accountant and operations professional with extensive background in financial accounting, ERP implementations, grants management and donor reporting. I have managed full accounting cycles, reconciliations, credit control and produced accurate financial statements for diverse organisations.

I consult on QuickBooks and other ERP product improvements, set up chart of accounts, automate transaction workflows and support annual audits. I have delivered timely statutory and donor-compliant reporting while ensuring procedural compliance across projects and programmes.

I also bring strong office management, HR, procurement and logistics experience, with proven skills in process improvement, vendor management and cross-functional coordination to meet organisational objectives.
