@georgechikosaula
I am a results-oriented accountant skilled in financial reporting, reconciliations and cash management.
What I'm looking for
I am a practical, results-oriented accountant with extensive experience managing accounts payable and receivable, general ledger reconciliations, payroll and cash management. I prepare monthly management accounts, cash flow forecasts and ensure timely, accurate financial reporting.
I have driven process improvements that increased efficiency by 20%, achieved 98% bank-to-ledger alignment through disciplined reconciliations, and reduced ledger discrepancies by 15% through rigorous GL maintenance. I maintain fixed asset registers, manage VAT and statutory returns, and liaise with auditors to ensure compliance and audit readiness.
I work well under pressure, build strong stakeholder relationships, and seek opportunities in competitive, growth-oriented organisations where I can apply my Sage Pastel, QuickBooks, MifosX and advanced Excel skills to support data-driven decision-making.
