What I'm looking for

I seek a role focused on payables, reconciliation, and process automation within a collaborative, compliance-driven finance team that values efficiency and growth.

I am a results-driven accounting professional with over six years of experience across financial reporting, transaction reconciliation, and accounts payable management in fintech and corporate environments.

I have overseen vendor invoice processing, managed large-scale bank reconciliations, supported payroll and outsourced payroll remittances, and prepared journal entries in compliance with IFRS.

I am certified in Financial Modelling & Valuation (FMVA) and Business Intelligence & Data Analysis (BIDA), and I drive process optimization and workflow automation using tools like VBA and advanced Excel.

I am committed to financial integrity, cross-functional collaboration, audit readiness, and implementing efficiencies that improve accuracy and processing speed.
