What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative culture.

I am an experienced accountant currently working at PSI Burundi, where I manage budgetary controls and ensure compliance with financial regulations. My role involves meticulous tracking of project expenses and preparing detailed financial reports for headquarters and donors. I pride myself on my ability to maintain expenditure within defined budgets, ensuring that all financial activities align with organizational goals.

With a strong educational background, including an MBA in progress and a bachelor's degree in business administration with a focus on Finance and Banking, I have developed a solid foundation in accounting principles and financial analysis. My proficiency in accounting software, particularly QuickBooks Enterprise, allows me to efficiently manage financial records and provide insightful analyses to support decision-making.

Beyond my technical skills, I am passionate about continuous learning and personal development. I actively seek opportunities to enhance my knowledge and skills in finance, and I am committed to contributing positively to my organization while fostering a collaborative work environment.
