What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented Compensation and Benefits professional with over 4 years of operational experience managing payroll inputs, ensuring data integrity, and maintaining financial compliance.
I work cross-functionally with HR and finance leadership to ensure compensation structures are consistently applied, and I keep execution reliable through high organizational discipline and accuracy.
In my recent role as an Accounting and Finance Professional, I managed day-to-end payroll processing inputs, monitored expense tracking and benefits administration data, and maintained accurate financial records through banking reconciliations and journal entries.

I also bring strong administrative support experience and complement my background with a BA in Accounting and Finance and a Virtual Assistant Certification from ALX Africa.
