What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a finance role where I can support internal controls or operational programmes through budgeting, reporting, audit controls, analysis, and trusted financial business partnering.

At Westminster Foundation for Democracy Nigeria, I support the financial management of donor-funded programmes and country operations through budgeting, forecasting, expenditure monitoring, reporting, payment processing, reconciliations, procurement, and compliance.

I've also served on maternity cover as a Regional Finance Business Partner, providing financial analysis, variance analysis, risk management, and practical advice to budget holders and management. I use Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Excel, and other financial systems to maintain accurate information and support decisions.

Previously, I supported the USAID-funded Care and Treatment for Sustained Support project at Management Sciences for Health, handling accounting, transaction coding, payment processing, advance reconciliation, financial documentation, and QuickBooks.

I bring a B.Sc. in Accounting, membership of the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria, banking operations experience from the Bank of Agriculture, and a continued focus on financial management and business partnering.
