Experienced accountant specializing in financial management and reporting.
What I'm looking for
I am an Accountant and Finance Specialist with 7 years of experience in financial management, adept in both English and French. My expertise lies in accounting, reporting using SAP, and implementing effective control mechanisms. I pride myself on being methodical and organized, particularly in budget management and financial analysis, where I have successfully optimized asset management and established robust accounting controls that ensure data integrity and reliability of financial flows.
Currently, I serve as an Accounting Specialist at GFA Consulting Group GmbH, where I manage comprehensive financial and accounting operations for the MCA Senegal 2 project. My role involves budget monitoring, transaction tracking, and preparing detailed financial reports, all while ensuring compliance with MCC requirements. I have streamlined the production of financial reports, reducing turnaround time significantly, and have implemented processes that enhance transparency and compliance with donor organizations.
Previously, I worked at SOBOA (West African Breweries) as an Accountant, where I managed the accounting of raw materials and fixed assets. I optimized invoicing procedures and developed an efficient inventory tracking mechanism that eliminated discrepancies in reports. My strong communication skills have enabled me to maintain effective relationships with external stakeholders, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and timely payments.
