What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers remote or hybrid work, where I can contribute to strategic financial management and operational excellence.

I am a motivated and results-driven Chartered Accountant with a successful track record of developing and administering effective organizational policies to monitor results and assess strategies. My experience spans across various sectors, where I have demonstrated the confidence to work both as part of a cultured team and independently. Currently, I serve as the CFO at Akieni, overseeing all financial operations and ensuring alignment with strategic priorities.

Throughout my career, I have achieved significant milestones, such as addressing backlog statutory accounts and restructuring finance departments to enhance efficiency. My previous roles include Head of Operations at Ascent Africa, where I led the implementation of governance bodies and successfully completed accounting and tax compliance for numerous entities. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive financial success and operational excellence.
