What I'm looking for

I’m looking to apply my ACA-level public-sector finance expertise in a dynamic organization, driving strategic impact through accurate financial reporting, stronger controls, and innovative financial solutions that support growth.

I’m a results-driven Chartered Accountant (ACA – ICAN) with 7+ years of progressive experience across state ministries and parastatal agencies, focused on public sector financial management and reporting. In my current role as Senior Accountant at the Office of the Accountant General – Ogun State Government, I sustain 100% accuracy of General Ledger records, manage chart-of-accounts and balance sheet reconciliations, and translate cash book data into monthly transcripts for multi-agencies (MDAs).

I strengthen decision-making by preparing quarterly and annual financial statements in compliance with IPSAS and applicable Nigerian public sector reporting standards, supported by rigorous variance analysis and reforecast reporting with the Budget Directorate. I also design, document, and continuously improve accounting systems and internal control processes to reduce processing errors and improve turnaround times—while mentoring and training newly recruited accounting officers on government accounting principles and ministry-specific reporting requirements. I’m now seeking to apply this expertise in a dynamic, forward-looking organization where I can drive strategic impact, support growth, and contribute to innovative financial solutions.
