What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters professional growth, encourages team collaboration, and values strategic financial insights.

I am a dynamic and highly accomplished Senior Accountant with over 15 years of proven expertise in financial management, regulatory compliance, and strategic reporting. Holding an MBA in Finance and a CPA (K) certification, I have a strong track record of driving organizational success through mastery of IFRS, risk management, and internal controls. My experience spans across the insurance, legal, and corporate sectors, where I have consistently streamlined processes, optimized cash flow, and implemented cost-saving strategies in high-pressure environments.

In my recent role as Acting Deputy Finance Manager at Directline Assurance Company Limited, I prepared financial statements and management reports, ensuring regulatory compliance while enabling strategic decision-making. I have successfully managed cash flow operations, collaborated on budget development, and strengthened internal controls, all while mentoring finance staff to enhance their skills.
