Given Akinyode

I’m a detail-driven finance and operations professional with experience coordinating payments, vendors, and compliance documentation across multi-country, donor-funded projects. I’ve worked with international donor reporting standards and focused on accuracy, audit-readiness, and on-time delivery.

In my recent role at Hanovia Limited (NYSC placement), I processed payments totaling approximately NGN 110 million across six donor-funded projects, while managing withholding tax compliance across multiple Nigerian states. I built and maintained 100+ vendor tracking templates in Excel using XLOOKUP and VLOOKUP, reducing multi-day reconciliation processes to hours. I also acted as a liaison with FCTIRS and multiple vendors to coordinate procurement, quote sourcing, and payment schedules with minimal supervision.

Beyond finance operations, I supported a World Bank listing and baseline data exercise, working to international data quality standards. I’m comfortable handling multi-jurisdiction documentation like procurement documentation and audit-ready recordkeeping, and I prioritize clear cross-team communication—especially in remote, stakeholder-heavy environments.

I’m remote-work ready with Starlink as my primary internet, Airtel 5G backup, solar-backed 24-hour power, and an M1 MacBook Pro. I overlap fully with UK business hours and partially with US Eastern mornings, and I’m set up to receive international payments via Payoneer/Wise. I’m also continuously building my analytics and cloud foundation through my Computer Science background and certificates including Google IT Support Professional Certificate, AWS Cloud Practitioner Essentials, and Data Analytics training.
