What I'm looking for

I want a leadership-focused finance role using my financial management and strategic planning skills to support organizational growth, strengthen compliance, and improve profitability through strong reporting, forecasting, and risk controls.

I’m an experienced financial and business leader with expertise in strategic management, financial operations, and team leadership. I’ve built a track record of driving organizational growth, enhancing profitability, and ensuring regulatory compliance.

I turned around business proceeds by increasing revenue by 20% in 12 months. I also supported the profitability of a loss-making company through restructuring and client acquisition, and I improved financial transparency and compliance to contribute to successful audits and better business decisions.

In my current role as a Financial Analyst, I oversee financial operations and strategy, ensure compliance with legal and financial regulations, and strengthen internal controls to assess and mitigate financial and operational risks. I lead finance team recruitment, training, and performance management, support governance through Board reporting and statutory audits, and continuously manage budgeting and forecasting for funded activities.
