What I'm looking for

I seek a senior accounting or finance role where I can lead reporting, payroll and controls, improve processes, ensure compliance, and drive cost-saving initiatives in a collaborative environment.

I am a finance professional with extensive experience in accounting, auditing, payroll administration and banking operations, skilled at reducing risk, streamlining procedures, and maximizing efficiency.

Across roles I prepared and reconciled aging reports, eliminated long-outstanding intercompany floats, and reconciled bank transactions to correct discrepancies and improve collections. I reviewed and reconciled payroll for teams up to 1,200 personnel, uploaded WPS files with zero delayed salaries, and calculated leave and end-of-service settlements with zero miscalculations.

I work with Delta Accounting, Pioneer Accounting, Dhareeba, IBM AS/400 and Microsoft Office, and I have introductory SAP knowledge plus basic programming exposure (DBase, Oracle, COBOL, Clipper). I deliver clear financial reports, support external auditors to achieve excellent audit results, and recommend cost-control measures that help management make informed decisions.
