What I'm looking for

I'm seeking finance, grants, or accounting leadership work where I can strengthen donor compliance, financial controls, budgeting, reporting, and audit readiness in nonprofit or international development organizations.

I've led finance and administration at Freehearts Reachout Africa Foundation, overseeing accounting operations, grant budgets, payroll, cash flow, reconciliations, internal controls, and financial reporting for management and stakeholders.

Previously at Heartland Alliance International (GISHR), I supported the full grant lifecycle, from pre-award review through close-out. I prepared donor-compliant reports, reviewed partner budgets and liquidations, reconciled grant balances, and strengthened financial management capacity among staff and implementing partners.

My earlier accounting roles with Leonard Consultancy Limited and Normagbon Pharmacy Services Limited built my foundation in bookkeeping, payroll, bank reconciliations, general ledger management, budgeting, and financial statements.

I'm committed to accurate records, transparent systems, accountable use of funds, and audit-ready financial operations. I use QuickBooks and advanced Microsoft Excel to turn financial data into reliable reporting and informed decisions.
