What I'm looking for

I’m looking to transition to remote bookkeeping positions with an element of administration, where I can use my experience and skills to contribute to the business.

At Harare International School, I introduced a user-friendly payroll package to the HR department and was involved in rewriting the Financial Procedures Manual. I also contributed to the introduction of internet banking and paperless transactions.

At Stroyhurst Enterprises, I helped set up an agricultural commodities supplier, including its registrations, bank accounts, accounting and stock system, and financial procedures. I’m looking to transition to remote bookkeeping positions with an element of administration, where I can put my accounting and administration experience to good use.
