What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can apply multi-currency reconciliation, improve controls and automate processes in a collaborative, growth-oriented remote or hybrid environment.

I am a detail-oriented finance professional with 8+ years' experience in financial reporting, accounts payable/receivable, audit coordination, and multi-currency reconciliation across Africa and the UK. I have a track record of reducing errors by up to 90%, improving month-end close processes, and ensuring audit readiness with zero major findings.

I bring hands-on expertise in Tally, Sage, Navision, QuickBooks and tools like Tableau, and I am skilled in budgeting, taxation, IFRS/GAAP, and cross-border operations. I thrive in dynamic remote or hybrid environments, prioritize stakeholder collaboration, and focus on process automation and operational efficiency to support sound decision-making and business growth.
