What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to apply my experience in preparing tax returns, managing payroll, and implementing financial controls to contribute to an organization’s success while ensuring accurate financial reporting and operational efficiency.

At Resani Consulting Ltd, I handle finance and administration and provide finance support to Good Shepherd International School through a retained service arrangement. I prepare monthly management accounts, manage payables and receivables, and reconcile bank, cash, and ledger accounts.

I previously worked as an Accounts Assistant at 265 Energy, where I processed payroll, supported financial reporting, and prepared statutory returns. At Ocean-Flo Life International Limited, I set up and customized QuickBooks and Zoho Books to fit the organization’s chart of accounts and reporting needs.

As a part-time volunteer Managing Director at Courageous Kids Foundation, I oversee budgets and fundraising, support staff, and build relationships with donors. I hold a Diploma in Financial Accounting and am pursuing a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting at Nkhoma University.
