I’m a results-driven Credit Controller and Finance Professional with 7+ years of progressive experience across manufacturing and pharmaceutical industries. I focus on improving credit risk controls, accelerating collections, and strengthening cash-flow visibility through disciplined reporting and analysis.

At Abyssinia Group of Industries, I led end-to-end credit control operations for a major steel manufacturing group, managing receivables portfolios and creditworthiness reviews. I developed collection targets and performance reporting, monitored aged receivables, and partnered with the legal department to manage delinquent accounts under litigation.

My impact is measurable: I reduced balances over 90 days by 70%, recovered 4+ years of unpaid withholding VAT, and prevented significant bad debt write-offs through proactive risk management and early intervention. I also designed and implemented improved credit control policies and financial procedures to make the controls stronger and more sustainable.

Earlier, as a Junior Accountant at Laboratory & Allied Ltd, I progressed through multiple accounting functions in a pharmaceutical environment. I strengthened verification controls to reduce VAT filing inconsistencies, improved supplier payment efficiency aligned to credit terms, and improved cheque handling through structured tracking—while supporting month-end/year-end close and compliant tax reporting.
