What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and allows me to leverage my financial expertise in a dynamic environment.

My journey has taken me through various roles, where I have honed my skills in bank account reconciliation, financial reporting, and project management. I have successfully managed the financial records of different organizations remotely, ensuring accuracy and compliance.

Currently, I serve as the Head of Audit at ECWA Port Harcourt DCC, where I oversee auditing and internal control processes across multiple branches. My contributions include designing templates for financial reporting and coaching others in using Sage 50 Accounting Software.
