What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end financial reporting and compliance, strengthen internal controls, and use SAP and advanced analysis to improve budgeting, cash flow, and decision-making—while working with leadership to drive measurable efficiency and accuracy.

I’m a financial accountant with 6+ years of progressive experience in financial reporting, budgeting, accounts payable/receivable, payroll processing, and internal controls. I’m known for streamlining accounting operations while keeping statutory compliance strong across PAYE, VAT, WHT, and pension requirements.

In my current Finance Officer role, I manage end-to-end accounts payable and receivable workflows through SAP ERP, including invoicing and transaction postings. I also process staff payroll, ensure accurate statutory deductions, and support internal controls and audit readiness through reliable month-end bank reconciliations.

Previously, as a Finance Manager at an innovation centre, I served as the sole finance professional and owned the full finance function. I overhauled record-keeping to improve reporting accuracy by 20% and reduced turnaround time for monthly reports, while leading budget planning and revenue forecasting with cross-department leaders.

I bring an analytical, action-oriented approach to cost control, variance analysis, and executive decision support. I’ve also delivered measurable operational impact—such as reducing operational expenditure by 5%—and strengthened organizational compliance through a thorough filing and departmental audit that produced clear observations, recommendations, and action points.
