Accountant with 7+ years managing end-to-end finance, reporting, tax, and payroll.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented, results-driven Accountant with 7+ years of progressive experience overseeing end-to-end financial operations, book keeping, processing of payroll, financial reporting, audit coordination, and tax compliance. I’m known for integrity, confidentiality, professionalism, and accuracy—especially when handling statutory requirements and time-sensitive deliverables.
At Coin MFI Company Limited, I streamlined automated monthly, quarterly, and year-end financial reporting systems, process pay roll, bookkeeping while cutting reporting time by 30% and improving data accuracy. I also strengthened compliance by developing and implementing financial policies and procedures, ensuring full adherence to regulatory requirements, and I managed payroll with consistent accuracy and confidentiality.
I’ve delivered measurable outcomes across other roles as well: reducing late fees by 40% through improved accounts payable management, increasing budgeting and forecasting accuracy by 12%, and supporting stronger cash flow by reducing outstanding receivables by 15%. From audit trainee work—bank reconciliations for 50+ clients and statutory audits under IFRS and tax laws. I bring both technical rigor and a practical, decision-focused mindset to every engagement.
