What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities, a collaborative environment, and the chance to further develop my financial expertise.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented Account Executive with a strong background in financial management and transaction processing. My experience includes optimizing cash flow, reducing outstanding balances, and ensuring the accuracy of financial records. I pride myself on fostering strong client relationships and streamlining billing processes to enhance the overall financial health of the organizations I work with.

In my recent role at B.R. De Silva & Company, I was responsible for tracking payments and expenditures, reconciling processed work, and maintaining historical records. My previous experience as an Inventory & Cost Controller at TaprobaneSeaFood (Pvt) Ltd allowed me to hone my skills in inventory cost analysis and data management. I am proficient in various accounting software, including QuickBooks and Oracle, and have a solid understanding of bank reconciliations and accounts payable/receivable.

With a BBA Honors in Accounting from the University of Jaffna, I am committed to continuous improvement and professional development. I am currently pursuing my CA Sri Lanka qualification, which further demonstrates my dedication to advancing my career in finance and accounting.
