Accounting and finance professional improving reporting, tax processes, and business performance across UK, US, and Nigeria.
What I'm looking for
I’m an accounting and finance professional with over six years of international experience across the UK, US and Nigeria, specializing in financial reporting, management accounting, corporate tax, payroll and business analysis. Currently, I manage month-end close and financial reporting, and I lead month-end close for a portfolio of UK businesses. I also handle UK payroll processing while ensuring compliance with HMRC regulations.
I consistently improve financial processes and partner with stakeholders to strengthen reporting accuracy and business performance. Key wins include building a UK salary calculator adopted as a client-facing product, and developing and implementing a framework for a new tax management service for B2B clients—supporting revenue growth through improved accounting and tax operations. Within three months, I was recognized in the company newsletter for my can-do attitude and problem-solving skills.
Earlier in my career, I delivered economic research and macroeconomic reporting used in investment decisions, producing inflation, GDP, monetary policy, and daily fixed income reports. I’ve also supported tax compliance work such as withholding tax credit recovery, VAT refund audit, invoice raising, filing of returns, tax research, risk management, and client review. I recovered long-outstanding receivables and achieved positive client feedback through strong WHT and VAT reviews.
Across accounts receivable and financial management work, I’ve introduced invoicing processes that improved approvals and payment performance, cleared filing backlogs, and identified process redundancies that increased efficiency. I work confidently with GAAP and IFRS standards and use tools such as Xero, Quick books, BrightPay, Oracle and MS Office Suite (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint), alongside strong numeric skills focused on detail and accuracy. I’m currently ACCA part-qualified with an MSc in Accounting and Finance (Distinction) and I bring integrity, confidentiality, and transparency into every engagement.
