What I'm looking for

I want to use my data analysis and accounting strengths to generate actionable insights, improve budgeting and controls, and reduce inefficiencies. I’m looking for a role where I can turn reporting into better, more profitable decisions through collaboration.

I’m a Chartered Accountant with seven years of experience training/working in a firm of Chartered Accountants, building a track record in preparing timely financial report, implementing budgeting frameworks, instituting internal financial control, and supporting compliance documentation. I bring a data-analyst mindset that focuses on actionable insights that drive optimum and profitable decision making.

Across roles in banking, manufacturing, and real estate, I’ve improved operational performance by reducing customer service time by 25%, cutting over payment of wages by 50%, and lowering inventory damage and pilferage by 36%. I’ve also supported month-to-date performance with accurate store Bin Card tracking, VAT computation and filing, and management reporting for leadership decisions.

In my current Audit/Tax Associate role, I assist in preparing audited financial statements, file financial statements with regulatory bodies, and support forensic audit activities to eliminate monetary loss to clients through outsourced internal audit. I’m equally focused on strengthening my data analysis and visualization practice as I continue developing as a Visual Assistant and Data Analyst specialist.
