What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and challenges in financial management.

I am a result-driven and self-motivated Financial Accountant with over six years of experience in financial reporting and decision support. My expertise lies in providing key financial data and support to assist in critical business decisions. I possess excellent communication skills, enabling me to build strong relationships within and outside the finance department, effectively conveying financial information to non-finance colleagues.

Throughout my career, I have successfully streamlined accounting processes and spearheaded the implementation of SAP ERP at Utee Estate Ltd. My ability to adapt quickly to changing work environments and my strong financial control skills have allowed me to excel in competitive settings. I am committed to ensuring that all statutory and corporate obligations are met while continuously seeking opportunities for professional growth and leadership in a large entity.
