What I'm looking for

I seek roles leveraging accounting, audit, and tax skills in organizations that value accuracy, growth, and collaborative problem-solving.

I am an accounting and finance graduate from the University of Zambia with hands-on experience in bookkeeping, financial statement preparation, compliance, audits, and client service.

Over three years I supported external audits at UHY Hacker Young, worked as an accounts assistant handling tax returns and procurement submissions, and served as a sales consultant advising clients on insurance and investment solutions.

I am known for accuracy, integrity, strong Excel and Microsoft Office skills, and the ability to learn quickly and adapt in multicultural settings.

I communicate effectively, support team goals, and consistently deliver high-quality work while contributing practical recommendations to improve controls and compliance.
