What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an accounting role that supports ACCA/ICAM/CIMA qualification, offers hands-on financial reporting, reconciliations, budgeting, and a collaborative environment with growth opportunities.

I am an assistant accountant with experience across consultancy, NGO and corporate settings, delivering accurate financial records and reports. I have practical experience preparing cashbooks, bank reconciliations, trial balances and statutory returns.

At SWAM and other employers I managed budgeting, donor contract administration, procurement and participated in external audits, producing timely monthly financial reports. I also prepared asset schedules and capital allowance computations and supported sales and data-entry functions. I use Excel, Sage and QuickBooks, and have basic web development knowledge (HTML and Java).

I am committed to qualifying as a chartered accountant (ACCA, ICAM or CIMA) and seek a role that offers professional growth, hands-on accounting responsibilities and support for formal qualification.
