Driven finance professional with expertise in international finance and auditing.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated finance professional with extensive experience in both remote international finance and on-site auditing. Currently, I manage the books and compliance for U.S.-based NGOs, ensuring accuracy and adherence to financial regulations. My role at Melita & Partners as a Semi-Senior Accountant has honed my skills in full-cycle bookkeeping, where I utilize QuickBooks Online and Xero to generate comprehensive financial reports for client reviews and audits.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to adapt quickly to client-specific systems, ensuring efficient onboarding and execution with minimal training. My previous experience as an Audit Assistant at Baker Tilly allowed me to prepare financial statements in compliance with national accounting standards while conducting on-site audits. I take pride in my ability to collaborate effectively with teams, contributing to timely audit completions and maintaining high standards of financial integrity.
In addition to my technical skills, I have a strong commitment to continuous learning and professional development. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Banks, Finance & Accounting at Riinvest College, alongside my certification as an Accounting Technician. I am eager to leverage my skills and knowledge in a dynamic environment that values innovation and growth.
