South Africa
Message

At Bindura University of Science Education, I prepared annual financial statements in accordance with IAS/IFRS and compiled year-end audit files.

At Zimbabwe Open University, I progressed from Accounts Clerk to Assistant Accountant and Accountant. I developed a ground-up understanding of accounting operations, controls, and reporting.

My finance experience informs my work with Power BI, where I prepare and model data, create DAX measures, and design dashboards. I also work with Power Query to transform data for reporting and analysis.

I hold Microsoft certifications in Power BI, Fabric Analytics, AI Business, and Excel, as well as Xero certifications. I use Xero for system management, setup, reconciliations, reporting, and migration.
