What I'm looking for

I seek a remote-friendly finance or accounting role in a transparent, compliance-focused organization where I can improve processes, support audits, and drive continuous improvement.

I am a detail-oriented finance and accounting professional with over four years’ experience supporting end-to-end financial operations across donor-funded and private sector organizations. I have managed multi-country statutory compliance, streamlined financial reporting processes, overseen payroll and audit readiness, and improved cash flow by reducing outstanding receivables by 20% while accelerating month-end closures by 41% through automation and cross-functional collaboration.

I excel working remotely and across time zones, maintaining audit-ready documentation and delivering accurate, timely financial reports to donors and leadership. I hold a CPA-K qualification and certifications in QuickBooks and Advanced Excel/Financial Modelling, and I am seeking to transfer my skills into a finance or accounting role within a dynamic, remote-friendly organization that values compliance, transparency, and continuous improvement.
