What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative work environment where I can apply my financial expertise and analytical skills.

I am a dedicated finance professional with a strong academic background, holding a Bachelor of Science in Management & Accounting from Obafemi Awolowo University, where I graduated with First Class honors. My journey in finance has been enriched by my experience as an Audit Intern at Forvis Mazars, where I executed end-to-end audit engagements for a diverse range of clients, ensuring compliance with IFRS and ISA standards. I have a knack for identifying financial reporting risks and have successfully contributed to resolving discrepancies valued at over ₦250 million during audit cycles.

In addition to my auditing experience, I have worked as a Virtual Assistant for various companies, where I streamlined operations and improved financial tracking systems. My role at Ultimate Soul Escape involved managing budgets for international trips and enhancing reporting accuracy significantly. I am passionate about leveraging my analytical skills and financial expertise to drive business growth and improve operational efficiency. I thrive in dynamic environments and am committed to delivering high-quality results that exceed expectations.
