What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative culture.

I am a CIMA graduate with extensive experience in accounting and financial management. My journey began at Al-Nur Secondary School, where I excelled academically, earning multiple subject awards and the prestigious Top Achiever award for IGCSE in 2017. I have a strong foundation in accounting principles, having completed my studies at Botswana Accountancy College, where I received my Advanced Diploma in Management Accounting.

In my professional career, I have held positions such as Accounts Associate at AnalytIQ Accounting Solutions and Senior Accounts Associate at A&T Associates. My responsibilities have included data capturing, payroll management, and the preparation of management accounts and financial statements. I take pride in my ability to analyze financial discrepancies and provide effective solutions, ensuring accuracy and compliance in all financial reporting.

I am passionate about mentoring junior associates and fostering a collaborative work environment. My goal is to leverage my skills and knowledge in a challenging role that allows me to contribute to organizational success while continuing to grow professionally.
