What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for professional growth, ideally in a supportive company culture focused on sustainability and accountability.

I am a dedicated professional with a strong background in inventory management and procurement. My experience includes managing complex financial processes and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. I thrive in challenging environments and am committed to leveraging my skills to contribute to organizational success.

In my role as an Assistant Accountant at Ultimate Farms Ltd, I have honed my abilities in financial planning, bookkeeping, and compliance. I manage monthly bank reconciliations, prepare financial statements, and collaborate with auditing services to ensure accuracy and adherence to regulations. My analytical skills allow me to examine financial records critically, ensuring that all processes are efficient and effective.

Previously, I served as a Zonal Census Coordinator for ZAMSTATS, where I developed detailed plans for census operations and supervised a team of enumerators. My leadership and communication skills were essential in ensuring data accuracy and timely reporting. I am passionate about building a sustainable legacy and delivering results that are fit for purpose.
