What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and allows me to leverage my financial expertise to support business success.

I am a results-driven accounting and finance professional with over 4 years of experience delivering financial services across both corporate and freelance environments. My expertise lies in financial reporting, budgeting, reconciliations, and implementing digital finance solutions. I have a proven track record of managing remote accounting tasks, meeting deadlines, and supporting business growth through actionable insights.

Throughout my career, I have honed my analytical skills, particularly in public finance and investment analysis. As a freelance accountant, I provide consulting services to small businesses and startups, helping them with bookkeeping, budgeting, and tax support. My role as a Junior Accountant at Safetyplus Consulting Limited allowed me to manage general ledger operations and improve receivables collection by 20% through proactive follow-ups. I am passionate about leveraging digital tools like QuickBooks and Excel to enhance financial processes and reporting.
