What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and values teamwork.

I am an enthusiastic and motivated finance and administrative assistant with a strong background in procurement and financial management. My experience includes managing financial records, preparing expense reports, and providing administrative support in fast-paced environments. I pride myself on my attention to detail and ability to work independently while maintaining a collaborative spirit.

Throughout my career, I have developed key skills in financial software and reporting, which have enabled me to streamline processes and improve efficiency. At Mota-Engil Uganda Limited, I have successfully managed accounts payable queries and maintained accurate accounting records, contributing to the overall financial health of the organization. My previous role at WBPF Consultants Limited further honed my administrative capabilities, where I improved document processing speed and coordinated travel arrangements for staff.

I am now seeking to transition into a new field where I can leverage my transferable skills and contribute effectively in diverse professional environments. I am recognized for my reliability, adaptability, and proficiency in procurement and financial software, and I am eager to bring these strengths to a new opportunity.
