What I'm looking for

I'm available for remote international engagements where I can lead finance operations, strengthen controls, improve reporting, coordinate audits and compliance, and support leadership with reliable financial insight.

At Topman & Dana Services, I lead end-to-end finance operations for a business supporting approximately ₦1–₦5 billion in annual turnover, overseeing reporting, banking, taxation, controls, and statutory audit coordination. I supervise a seven-person finance team, support payroll processes for approximately 35 employees, and manage activities across four bank accounts.

Across manufacturing, professional services, and public-sector finance roles, I’ve strengthened internal controls, coordinated audits and tax compliance, improved reporting processes, and supported cost-control initiatives. I also led Sage Pastel Evolution implementation, end-user training, and post-implementation support for NPA Nigeria.
