What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a structured trainee role where I can grow into CPA-ready competence—handling accounts payable, reconciliations, and financial reporting support, while strengthening tax compliance and audit-ready record keeping.

I’m a motivated, detail-oriented finance graduate with a Bachelor of Commerce (Finance), First Class Honors, and hands-on experience from internships and an Accounts Graduate Trainee role. I process and post invoices within schedules, perform supplier reconciliations, and support month-end close activities like journals and reconciliation schedules. I also help with VAT and withholding tax basics when invoices are processed, and I keep financial records for audit readiness and compliance.

I’m currently pursuing CPA (Section 6) and I’m eager to leverage my analytical accuracy and proactive learning mindset in a structured trainee program. Through my office administration internship and credit management officer internship, I’ve supported daily financial processes (receipts, cash-ups, variances) and helped monitor client accounts through reconciliations, credit reporting, and follow-ups for old receivables.
