Recent accounting graduate passionate about numbers and financial analysis.
What I'm looking for
I am a recent accounting graduate with a strong academic foundation and a passion for numbers and analysis. My journey through Midlands State University has equipped me with the skills necessary to excel in the accounting field. I am eager to begin my career as an entry-level accountant, where I can contribute to an organization's financial excellence and streamline processes for optimal performance.
During my internship at Skyden, I honed my skills in creating costing sheets, generating profit and loss reports, and managing stock effectively. My experience at the Ministry of Health and Child Care Zimbabwe allowed me to oversee daily operations in the finance and accounting department, where I processed payments, maintained ledgers, and performed audit tracks to ensure funds were utilized appropriately. I am committed to continuous learning and aspire to become a Chartered Accountant.
