What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that offers growth opportunities and challenges in financial analysis.

I am an accounting professional with over five years of experience in portfolio management, budgeting, forecasting, and performance review. My career has been marked by a commitment to excellence and a proven ability to adapt to challenging business environments. At Leadway Assurance Company Limited, I currently serve as the Head of Fund Accounting and Portfolio Manager, where I track and analyze market trends to identify trading opportunities and oversee investment reporting.

Previously, I held the position of Senior Financial Planning Analyst, where I prepared the company’s annual budget and conducted monthly analyses of financial statements. My analytical skills were further honed as a Financial Planning Analyst, where I implemented a migration to a corporate performance management system and created models to assess product profitability. My educational background includes a B.Sc. in Accounting from Obafemi Awolowo University, where I graduated with Second Class Honours (Upper Division) and was recognized as the best graduating student in Financial Accounting.
