What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance leadership role where I can manage credit and accounting end-to-end, strengthen controls and compliance, and use financial analysis to drive profitable growth while coaching teams to hit targets.

I’m a Finance Manager with a strong track record in credit, financial analysis, and end-to-end accounting. I manage monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements, handle tax computations and compliance, and support audits by strengthening internal controls.

I bring a practical, growth-focused mindset from coordinating sales operations and supporting loan processing through to advising clients on budgeting, forecasting, and cost management. Across roles like Sales and Marketing Manager, Business Development Manager, and Credit Control Team Leader, I’ve built revenue through strategic planning, customer care, and disciplined performance monitoring using KPIs and sales analytics.
