What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and values transparency in financial management.

I am a qualified CIMA professional and BICA-registered accountant with over three years of experience in financial reporting, donor compliance, tax administration, and financial operations across both public practice and private sectors. My proven track record includes supporting audits, managing financial agreements, and streamlining procurement processes. I am detail-oriented and results-driven, passionate about contributing to sustainable development through transparent and accountable financial management.

Currently, I lead a team of junior accountants at Alliant CPA, where I manage payment processes, account reconciliations, and prepare IFRS-compliant financial statements. My efforts have improved compliance rates and enhanced client satisfaction significantly. I have also contributed to the onboarding and mentoring of junior staff, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and professional development.

Previously, I worked at Mazars Botswana, where I coordinated tax planning for over 150 clients and successfully secured tax amnesty approvals. My educational background includes a Post Graduate Diploma in Taxation and being a complete member of CIMA, which has equipped me with the necessary skills to excel in financial management and reporting.
