What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my analytical skills and contribute to impactful projects while fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment.

I am a dedicated Data Analyst with a strong background in finance and IT management. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting, which laid the foundation for my analytical skills. Over the years, I have honed my expertise in data analysis, financial accounting, and project management, contributing significantly to various organizations.

Currently, I work at Ebullience Digital Hub, where I am responsible for the installation and implementation of accounting software, as well as managing client communications and negotiations. My previous roles as a Finance Officer and Finance/Admin Officer have equipped me with comprehensive knowledge in budgeting, payroll management, and statutory deductions. I take pride in my accomplishments, including successfully executing projects under the MacArthur Police Reform Project, which involved organizing summits and workshops across Nigeria.

With certifications in Data Analysis and Forensic Accounting, I continuously seek to enhance my skills and contribute to organizational growth. I am passionate about leveraging my diverse skill set to drive efficiency and innovation in the workplace.
