What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role in accounting and finance where I can keep improving my skills, apply my auditing/tax/finance knowledge, and add real value through accurate reporting, budgeting, and data-driven reconciliation.

I’m a result-oriented, smart, adaptable and fast-learner with a strong focus on accounting and finance. I bring “great data analysis and interpretation” to support clear reporting and reliable operational controls.

Since 2020, I’ve worked as an Accountant preparing annual budgets and monitoring implementation, producing monthly payroll, and ensuring statutory payments are completed. I prepare annual Final Account, liaise with external auditors and other regulatory bodies, and deliver quarterly and annual reports for management and international partners.

I also manage the accuracy of records through Tally ERP 9 data entry, payment voucher processing, and receipt checks. My work includes monthly reconciliation of cash, bank, debtors’ and creditors’ accounts, and maintaining fixed assets schedules to strengthen financial completeness and audit readiness.

Earlier roles and an internal audit internship reinforced my attention to detail: I supported reconciliations, stock-taking, voucher documentation, and pre-audit checks. I’m currently building deeper capabilities in financial modeling and valuation through the FMVA program, aiming to continue adding value through stronger financial analysis and trustworthy reporting.
