Erasmus Kofi AKPABIE
@erasmuskofiakpabie
Senior finance & operations leader using automation and data-driven systems to boost performance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a dynamic, results-driven senior finance & operations professional with 20+ years of progressive experience spanning Finance & Accounting, Operations Management, Business Administration, IT Systems, and Executive Leadership. I bridge traditional operations with modern, data-driven decision-making.
My career includes serving as CEO, Deputy General Manager, Senior Management Accountant, Treasurer, and IT/MIS Officer. I lead teams to consistently exceed targets—like 25%+ monthly sales achievement for six consecutive months and measurable improvements in cash flow forecasting accuracy.
I design automated solutions that eliminate manual bottlenecks and improve accuracy, including an online leave request system that reduced administrative processing time by 40% and an Excel-based stock management system that cut inventory holding costs by 25%. I also strengthen operational execution through process redesign, dashboards, and workflow coordination.
I’m fully remote-ready, bilingual in English and French, and available for global opportunities across Finance, Operations, Administration, Customer Support, and IT. I bring deep financial expertise plus strong technical acumen—rooted in CISA certification and hands-on systems work—to help organizations operate faster, smarter, and with tighter control.
