What I'm looking for

I seek a full-time accounting or finance role to apply IFMIS and advanced Excel, strengthen financial controls, support compliance and audits, collaborate with teams, and continue CPA studies while contributing to organizational efficiency.

I am a detail-oriented accounting and finance graduate with hands-on experience in public sector financial operations, including processing payments with IFMIS and achieving 100% documentation accuracy for payment vouchers. I improved payment processing efficiency by 15% through batching and consistently reconciled cash books to resolve discrepancies.

I am pursuing CPA Part 2 to deepen my technical expertise and bring proficiency in QuickBooks, SAP, Oracle, Sage and advanced Excel to every role. I am immediately available and eager to contribute to an organization's financial integrity, compliance and operational efficiency.
