What I'm looking for

I seek a Senior Accountant/Finance Controller role where I can lead financial reporting, ERP transformation, compliance and team development to drive strategic decisions and business growth in a collaborative organization.

I am a Senior Accountant with over 14 years of experience, holding ACCA, a Bachelor of Commerce and an MSc in Finance & Investment.

I lead financial reporting, budgeting, bank reconciliations, payroll and audit preparation while ensuring compliance with IFRS and statutory requirements.

I have led ERP implementations and upgrades including SAP Business One and an Acumatica upgrade across four companies in July 2023, and I managed rollouts in Tanzania and Uganda while streamlining processes to reduce audit queries.

I build strong stakeholder relationships, manage intercompany transactions and fixed asset registers, mentor teams, and seek to drive financial control, digital transformation and strategic decision-making in my next role.
