What I'm looking for

I seek a senior finance role where I can lead accounting systems implementation, ensure donor-compliant reporting, build finance teams, and improve transparency and operational continuity in a mission-driven organization.

I am a finance professional with extensive experience leading accounting operations, donor-compliant reporting, and payroll management across NGOs and academia. I have implemented accounting systems, supervised finance teams, and ensured audit-ready records while supporting partners and field offices.

At ScoutIntel I led the implementation of the organization’s accounting software and established robust financial controls; at Médecins du Monde and Terre Des Hommes I managed donor-funded reporting (ECHO, AFD, CDC), cashflow planning, and partner financial oversight. I consistently ensured compliance, accurate reconciliations, and timely fund requests.

I am committed to building transparent, efficient financial systems, capacity-building for partners, and delivering clear financial analysis to support operational continuity and program objectives.
