What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead financial reporting, controls, regulatory compliance, ERP implementation, and business automation in a financial services environment.

I've led finance, reporting, and control functions across Branch International Finance Company, First Icon Mutual Capital, Clane Nigeria, Coronation, and Cititrust Asset Management. My work covers end-to-end accounting, financial statements, regulatory returns, audits, liquidity, and investment reporting.

At First Icon Mutual Capital, I implemented ERP capabilities spanning CRM, fund administration, fund accounting, and financial reporting, including online and mobile integration endpoints. I also delivered budgeting, product-performance analysis, regulatory reporting, capital adequacy planning, and cost-optimization reviews.

As an ACA-qualified accountant with a BSc in Economics, I bring practical experience in IFRS, risk management, internal controls, fund accounting, and business automation. I've worked with Dynamics AX365, Navision, Fundware, Sage, Zanibal, Xero, and Zoho to improve financial information, processes, and compliance.
