What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own audit-ready financial reporting, budgeting, payroll support, and compliance monitoring across stakeholders and jurisdictions—using strong controls and process improvements to keep operations accurate, timely, and trusted.

I’m a finance, administration, and compliance professional with 15+ years of experience managing budgets, financial reporting, and operational processes across the UN system, international NGOs, and the private sector in Africa. I oversee end-to-end financial activities—due diligence, contracting support, disbursement tracking, reconciliations, and compliance monitoring—especially in fast-paced, multi-country environments.

Most recently, as a Finance, Operations & Compliance Lead (Senior Consultant) for a multi-country NGO, I deliver monthly management reporting, quarterly Board finance packs, and multi-jurisdictional regulatory and tax compliance support, while implementing SOPs, internal controls, and governance frameworks to strengthen accountability. Previously at the UN World Food Programme (2019–2025), I supported a $2.5M+ grant portfolio, performed 500+ transactions monthly in line with IPSAS, maintained audit trails across SAP WINGS/Quantum, and supported payroll and VAT compliance—helping teams improve disbursement and invoice processing turnaround times.
