Previously, at PREFLEX CONSULTING LTD, I managed client financial statements, payroll and vendor payments, and led a client accounting-system migration from Xero to Sage 300. At THE NATIONAL TREASURY – PFMR DEPARTMENT, I supported donor-funded project audits and reviewed project budgets against actual expenditure.
