What I'm looking for

I’m looking for FP&A opportunities where I can turn reconciled, audit-ready financial data into budgeting, forecasting, and trend insights—using advanced Excel, Tableau, and R—while growing my Corporate Finance expertise with a team that values accuracy and ownership.

I’m an accounting professional with over four years of experience supporting financial operations, reporting, reconciliations, audit readiness, and accounts payable functions. I’m currently pursuing an MSc in Corporate Finance while building toward Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) opportunities, bringing a strong focus on data accuracy, compliance, and decision-ready reporting.

At the National Health Fund, I prepare monthly audit schedules, complete subledger-to-general ledger reconciliations, and manage supplier reconciliations while reviewing, validating, and processing invoices and tax withholding certificates. Earlier, at Goshen Manufacturing & Distributors Ltd., I managed accounts payable and accounts receivable activities, handled bank reconciliations and petty cash, supported payroll preparation, and worked with external auditors—experience that’s shaped how I approach month-end close and financial analysis.
