What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote freelance work in accounting, bookkeeping, and financial management—delivering accurate IFRS-based reports, compliant tax and payroll processing, and reliable support for internal and external audits.

I’m an ICAN-certified finance professional with over 8 years of experience in accounting, financial reporting, payroll management, and internal controls. In my current role as Finance Officer / Accountant at GEEMEG Engineering Ltd (2024–Present), I maintain financial records to IFRS and IAS standards, prepare monthly financial statements and management reports, and analyze data to support internal audits and resolve discrepancies.

I bring proven expertise in multi-company accounting, tax compliance (VAT, WHT, PAYE), and project expense management, and I advise management on expenditures, revenue, and financial projections. Previously, as Finance Officer / Accountant at Nigson Group (2023–2024), I ensured timely tax remittance, handled payroll and regulatory submissions, consolidated group accounts, and resolved audit issues using Sage Evolution. I’m skilled with Sage Evolution, Zoho, QuickBooks, and Excel, and I’m motivated by delivering accurate reports while improving financial processes.
