Ambitious accounting graduate skilled in financial reporting, reconciliation, and payroll.
What I'm looking for
I am an accounting graduate with practical experience in financial reporting, payroll administration, and claims processing gained through internships and national service.
During my NYSC at the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund I assisted in preparing financial reports, recording employer contributions under the Employees’ Compensation Scheme, documenting payments and payroll, and maintaining accurate transaction records.
As an intern at African Alliance Insurance PLC I gained hands-on experience with Microsoft Office Suite and IBS, managed claims notifications, prepared claim correspondence and discharge forms, and updated claims records.
I bring strong organizational skills, attention to detail, teamwork and leadership experience from university activities, and a results-driven approach focused on efficiency, compliance, and continuous learning.
