What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can strengthen financial reporting and internal controls, support donor compliance, and grow into leadership within a collaborative organization.

I am a qualified Chartered Accountant with over seven years’ experience delivering financial reporting, auditing and internal controls across multinationals, NGOs and donor-funded projects. I excel at risk-based audits, IFRS-compliant reporting and identifying control weaknesses to drive actionable improvements.

I have managed payroll and general ledger processes, prepared management accounts, and led audits that improved governance and donor compliance. I am committed to collaborative stakeholder engagement, professional development and delivering high-quality, timely financial insight that strengthens accountability.
