What I'm looking for

I am seeking finance roles where I can apply public-sector accounting, improve financial controls, support payments and reconciliations, and grow in administration responsibilities.

I am an accounting professional with a B.Sc. in Commerce (Accounting) from the University for Development Studies and hands-on experience across public and development-sector finance roles.

Currently I serve as Finance and Administration Assistant at the International Potato Centre (CIP Ghana), where I support payment review and processing, maintain financial spreadsheets, handle withholding tax schedules, and manage filing and document uploads to ensure accurate financial records.

Previously I worked at Sagnarigu Municipal Assembly as an Accounts Assistant and National Service Personnel, preparing vouchers, bank reconciliations, managing revenue collection, and supporting HR recordkeeping and correspondence—demonstrating strong bookkeeping and local government finance familiarity.

I am proficient in Microsoft Office and multiple financial systems (GIFMIS, Oracle, CITRIX, OCS, HRMIS, HIMS) and have attended capacity-building trainings in resource mobilization, programme-based budgeting, composite budgeting, and deposit protection. I bring reliable execution, attention to detail, and a collaborative approach to finance and administration functions.
