What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and challenges in financial management.

I have built my career in the banking sector, starting as a Bookkeeping Intern and working my way up to Operations Manager at Bank of Africa Rwanda. My background includes extensive experience in cash management, financial reporting, bookkeeping, and compliance with international banking standards. In my current role, I lead branch operations, manage teams, and ensure accurate financial reconciliation.

I am highly skilled in bookkeeping, data entry, financial analysis, and risk management, with strong knowledge of accounting software and MS Excel. I enjoy improving processes to save time and reduce errors.

I am particularly interested in remote bookkeeping and trade-related roles, where I can combine my banking expertise with my ability to work independently, meet deadlines, and collaborate effectively in virtual environments.
