What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an Accountant/finance role where I can own audit-ready reporting, strengthen internal controls, and deliver 100% donor and statutory compliance. I want a collaborative environment that values process improvement, accuracy, and measurable efficiency gains.

I am a Certified Public Accountant with over 7 years of experience in accounting across different sectors. I am proactive and self-motivated, with strengths in cash management, record keeping, financial reporting and analysis, account reconciliation, payment processing, budgeting, data entry, and customer service.

In my current role as an Accountant at EchoNetwork Africa Foundation (NGO), I oversee day-to-day financial operations for donor-funded projects (Mastercard Foundation, UN Women, FCDO, New Zealand Aid, HSF). I ensure 100% on-time financial reporting, maintain audit-ready documentation systems, and strengthen internal controls—reducing transaction errors and compliance gaps by 70–80% while cutting audit queries by 30–40%.

I have also supported major delivery achievements, including successful completion and donor-approved reporting of a UN Women 2024 and 2025 project, and enabling compliance with budget and funding guidelines. I assisted in migrating from Sage to MS Dynamics ERP, reconstructed the constituency cashbook from 2015 to date, ensured completion of all bank reconciliations, and managed statutory deductions with 100% compliance and zero penalties.
