What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters professional growth and values financial integrity.

I am a dedicated accountant currently working with the Ghana Armed Forces, where I ensure timely compensation for over 1,000 personnel. My role involves improving payroll accuracy through efficient processing and maintaining precise records for promotions and salary adjustments. I take pride in overseeing the deletion of accounts for employees who vacate posts, ensuring a seamless transition while adhering to financial regulations.

Previously, I served as a National Service Personnel in the Audit department, where I conducted audits of vehicle fuel consumption and invoices, verifying accuracy and compliance with organizational policies. I prepared comprehensive audit reports that provided actionable insights and recommendations, contributing to enhanced financial reporting. My internship experience in the Budget Department further solidified my skills in financial record-keeping and compliance.
