What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers strategic challenges and opportunities for growth.

I am a seasoned finance professional with extensive experience in accounting, auditing, and business advisory roles within both local and multinational companies. My career is marked by a strong foundation in internal audit, managerial finance, international financial reporting, and transaction advisory services, bolstered by my professional certification from ACCA. I have a proven track record of leadership and strategic thinking, having served on the boards of three companies, where I provided strategic direction and contributed to financial planning and risk management.

Currently, I manage engagements at Solomon Bedilu and Co., overseeing the entire audit process from client acceptance to report generation. My previous roles include Senior Audit Manager at Tibebe Mengistu and Co., Chief Financial Officer at Medpharm Holdings Africa LLC, and Finance Director at TEAP Glass PLC. Each position has equipped me with the skills necessary to navigate complex financial landscapes and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. I am passionate about leveraging my financial expertise to drive organizational success and foster sustainable growth.
