What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a high-performance organization where I can lead IFRS-compliant reporting, treasury/working capital improvements, and variance-driven analysis—turning complex financial data into boardroom-ready insights and measurable cash performance.

I’m a Chartered Accountant with over 8 years of progressive experience across Fintech, FMCG, manufacturing, and multinational environments. I specialize in financial reporting, reconciliations, budgeting, treasury operations, tax compliance, IFRS application, and ERP systems including SAP S/4HANA, Infor M3, and Microsoft Dynamics.

I’ve managed full accounting cycles and complex variance analysis, translating financial data into boardroom-ready insights. At Skretting (SHV Holdings), I saved ₦11Million in Year 1 through rigorous vendor reconciliation and ledger clean-up, while also leveraging ECL frameworks to manage ₦3 Billion in monthly customer receivables across 200+ accounts.

I focus on measurable operational impact: I built a live receivables management dashboard that improved real-time visibility for credit control and decision-making. Through end-to-end invoicing, payment follow-ups, and proactive client engagement as an Accounts Receivable Officer, I helped reduce outstanding receivables by 20% and support stronger DSO performance.

I’m also recognized for execution and compliance—receiving an Employee of the Month award in June 2022 for excellence in financial reporting and meeting strict deadlines. From tax liaison work at the Federal Ministry of Finance to audit readiness and statutory reporting across institutions, I bring strong attention to detail, stakeholder communication, and zero tolerance for errors.
