What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, values teamwork, and encourages innovative financial solutions.

I am a Chartered Accountant with over two years of experience supporting SMEs in accounting, tax planning, and financial analysis. My expertise lies in designing financial systems that ensure IFRS-compliant reporting while providing advisory services that foster business growth. I am proficient in Excel automation, QuickBooks, Zoho Books, and G-Suite, which allows me to simplify complex finance concepts for organizations adapting to evolving tax and regulatory landscapes.

In my current role as CFO at Crawdwall Capital, I designed a financial model for investor pitching, complete with five-year cash flow projections. Additionally, I have served as Accounts Officer and Finance Team Lead at HelpMart Ecommerce Nigeria, where I developed a custom bookkeeping and reporting system that improved efficiency by 50%. My experience also includes a finance internship at KoboAccountants Africa, where I supported virtual accounting training and took on leadership roles in content development.
