What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment.

I am a Finance graduate with over five years of experience in financial analysis, audit, accounting, and accounts payable and receivable functions across various sectors. My proven ability to streamline financial processes and maintain accurate financial records has significantly enhanced operational efficiency. I am skilled in financial reporting, budget management, debt recovery, and transaction processing, leveraging my strong analytical skills and meticulous attention to detail.

In my recent role as a Finance Assistant at Centaur Insurance Brokers Limited, I spearheaded the development of budget control systems that reduced budget variances by 15%. I also led successful debt recovery initiatives, significantly reducing outstanding balances. My experience managing financial activities for subsidiaries at Centum Investment Company Limited has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of financial controls and operational efficiencies, including procurement and payroll processing.

My goal is to become a valuable asset to an organization by providing efficient financial and accounts expertise. I am dedicated to contributing effectively to organizational success and growth, ensuring compliance with financial regulations and enhancing overall financial performance.
