What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, encourages innovation, and values teamwork.

I am a dedicated finance and research analyst with a strong academic background in Accounting and Economics from the University of Ghana. My experience includes working at Stanbic Investment Management Services, where I conducted advanced financial forecasting and developed financial models that significantly improved decision-making processes. I have a proven track record of leading negotiations for securities transactions, achieving premium rates that generated substantial interest gains.

In my previous role as a Financial Data Analyst at CMP Media Pros, I built dynamic dashboards using Power BI and Excel to analyze financial metrics and market trends. My ability to transform complex data into actionable insights has been instrumental in enhancing organizational strategies. I am currently pursuing further qualifications with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) to deepen my expertise in finance.
