What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to leverage my analytical, compliance, and assurance expertise to strengthen governance frameworks, ensure regulatory compliance, and support strategic organizational objectives in regulated environments.

I’m a BICA-registered accounting professional with over 8 years’ experience in accounting, audit, financial administration, and secretariat support. As a Senior Accountant at Impact Business Consultants, I reconcile creditors’ control accounts, manage accounts payable processes, and prepare cash-flow forecasts, monthly management accounts, and financial statements aligned to IFRS.

I also drive compliance and assurance through quality assurance reviews, risk identification, and clear stakeholder engagement across internal departments, auditors, clients, and external stakeholders. Previously as an Audit Senior at Tariq & Cassim, I led full audit processes, prepared financial statements and tax computations, supervised audit associates and year-end stock counts, and trained teams on QuickBooks, LMS, and Caseware—now focused on strengthening governance frameworks and ensuring regulatory compliance.
