Celestina Whajah
@celestinawhajah
Accounting and finance professional focused on business management, budgeting, and customer-focused banking support.
What I'm looking for
I’m an ambitious accounting and finance graduate driven by learning and applying new skills. My goal is to build “exclusive skills in business and financial management” so I can create a competitive edge for both myself and my organization.
Through my internship at CALBANK HEAD OFFICE, I supported customers with “queries, loan applications, and account and investment-related challenges.” I also assisted senior employees with daily tasks, participated in presentations to understand core bank operations, and helped with “public sensitization and education workshops.”
During my National Service, Ministry of Finance (Budget Division), I worked on real accountability workflows: recording and processing letters from MDAs, tracking payment requests for warrant approval, and preparing memos and letters using Excel and PowerPoint. My responsibilities also included participating in parliamentary meetings and workshops, plus “site visits to companies” to investigate fund usage and then preparing a comprehensive report for review.
I bring strong teamwork, organizational focus, confidentiality, and an ability to work efficiently under pressure. Ongoing, I’m committed to continuous skill-building—so I can contribute to accurate reporting, effective budgeting coordination, and strong stakeholder support.
