What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in a dynamic organization that values financial integrity and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated Senior Accountant with extensive experience in financial management and accounting practices. Currently pursuing an MBA at Uganda Martyrs University, I have a solid foundation in accounting principles, complemented by my ongoing ACCA studies. My career spans over 15 years, during which I have honed my skills in various accounting roles across NGOs and corporate sectors.

In my current role at Enjuba, I lead financial analysis, budget management, and compliance with tax regulations. My previous positions have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of financial reporting, payroll management, and audit processes. I take pride in my ability to advise on investment strategies and ensure the integrity of financial operations, contributing to the overall success of the organizations I work with.
