GhanaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Accountant with 5+ years of experience delivering full-cycle accounting for NGOs and private firms in Ghana. I handle budgeting, payroll, statutory compliance, and donor reporting, while producing reliable financial reports for both management and international partners.
In my current role at Ghana Book Trust (GBT), I manage annual budgeting and track implementation for NGO operations. I prepare monthly payroll for 15 staff, ensure timely statutory payments to SSNIT and GRA, coordinate year-end audits with external auditors, and maintain a fixed assets register with monthly reconciliation of cash, bank, debtors, and creditors.
Earlier roles strengthened my control and reporting foundation through reconciliations, stock-taking, voucher processing, and internal audit support at the Ghana Book Development Council and Tema General Hospital. I’m confident using Tally ERP 9 and advanced Excel to turn financial data into actionable insights.
