What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging finance role in a reputable organization that values professional growth and offers opportunities for advancement.

I am a dedicated finance professional with over 16 years of experience in accounting and finance, currently serving as an Assistant Accountant and Assistant Manager at the Information and Communication Technology Agency of Sri Lanka (ICTA). My role involves the preparation of monthly management accounts, annual financial statements, and ensuring compliance with financial regulations. I have a proven track record of collaborating with auditors and developing standard operating procedures for the finance division.

Prior to my tenure at ICTA, I worked at Hela Clothing (Pvt) Ltd as an Accounts Assistant and Executive, where I managed financial affairs for multiple factories. My responsibilities included invoicing, payment processing, and maintaining financial records. I also gained international experience during my time in Bangladesh, where I prepared financial and management accounts for the subsidiary. My strong analytical skills and attention to detail have consistently contributed to the success of my teams.
