I excel in financial planning and analysis, enabling strategic decision-making through data-driven insights. My strong background in internal and external audits ensures transparency, risk mitigation, and operational efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have held key roles in organizations such as UNICEF and Norwegian Church Aid, where I was responsible for preparing financial statements according to IFRS, conducting risk assessments, and liaising with external auditors.
