What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior accounting or financial operations role where I can optimize processes, strengthen controls, improve inventory accuracy, and ensure statutory compliance—delivering measurable impact through dashboards, KPIs, and clean audit outcomes.

I’m a strategic finance professional with 10+ years of experience transforming accounting operations and inventory control across manufacturing and NGO environments. I drove stock accuracy improvements from 3.6% variance down to below 1%, managed financial operations for 500+ SKUs, and maintained perfect statutory compliance on tax filings through the iTax portal.

I design cost control frameworks that identify material waste savings (12%), strengthen internal controls, and support clean audit outcomes across multiple organisations. In my roles, I’ve built scalable finance and operations systems, created KPI dashboards, led end-to-end payroll for 50+ employees, and used tools like QuickBooks, SAP, and Microsoft DynamicsAX to improve reporting accuracy, reduce errors (35%), and accelerate close and reconciliation.
