Currently, I serve as a Finance Team Lead at Springboard Capital Ltd, where I oversee system transactions, prepare tax returns, and ensure compliance with statutory requirements. My role involves close collaboration with the Finance Manager to support internal and external audits, track expenditures, and prepare annual budgets.

Previously, I held positions as a Finance Officer and Accounts Assistant, where I honed my skills in cash management, invoice processing, and financial reporting.
