What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to utilize my accounting expertise and data analytics skills in a collaborative environment, fostering growth and efficiency.

I am a detail-oriented Accounting and Bookkeeping Professional with over 15 years of experience in financial reporting, data management, and regulatory compliance. My journey has equipped me with a robust skill set, allowing me to leverage accounting software like Pastel and Belina, alongside remote collaboration tools, to streamline processes effectively.

Throughout my career, I have consistently delivered accurate financial solutions, managing payroll for numerous clients while ensuring compliance with ZIMRA tax regulations. My recent certifications in Asana Work Management and IBM Introduction to Data Analytics reflect my commitment to enhancing my capabilities in remote project management and data analysis, positioning me to contribute significantly to any organization.

I am now embarking on a new pathway into Data Analytics and am currently doing IBM Data Analyst Professional Certificate through Coursera
