What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative work environment.

I am a dedicated Senior Accountant with extensive experience in both India and Uganda, specializing in internal and external auditing, financial reporting, and account finalization. My career spans over two decades, during which I have honed my skills in managing complex financial operations and ensuring compliance with statutory regulations.

Currently, I serve as a Senior Accountant at Mayuge Sugar Industries Ltd., where I conduct internal audits and prepare comprehensive financial statements for management review. My proactive approach has led to significant improvements in accounting processes and reporting accuracy. I am adept at handling VAT, Excise, NSSF, PAYE, and WHT preparations, ensuring timely submissions to the relevant authorities.

Previously, I held key accounting roles at Vardhman Stampings Pvt. Ltd. and Crystal Parental Ltd., where I was responsible for maintaining accurate financial records, conducting audits, and supporting accounting staff. My educational background in Accountancy, coupled with my proficiency in various accounting software, positions me as a valuable asset to any organization.
