United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I’m an ACCA Chartered Accountant with over eight years of experience across financial management, tax advisory, and cross-border accounting for Nigeria, US and UK clients. I focus on financial reporting, regulatory compliance, and end-to-end bookkeeping—always with accuracy, efficiency, and value creation at the center.
I design and implement scalable cloud-based financial systems to strengthen real-time reporting and decision-making. In client work, I optimize tax positions, deliver budgeting, forecasting, and financial modelling, and automate recurring accounting tasks—improving accuracy by 40% and saving £4,000 annually through cost-control initiatives.
As Founder & Lead Consultant at a virtual accounting and advisory firm, I deliver flexible, technology-driven solutions to SMEs, aligning financial structure with business growth objectives. Earlier, as a Finance Manager, I led budgeting and reporting, improved internal controls and risk management, and supervised teams to ensure timely and compliant financial outcomes.
