What I'm looking for

Seeking a remote opportunity in finance that offers growth opportunities, a collaborative culture, and the chance to contribute to organizational success through accurate financial management and strategic decision-making.

I am a seasoned accountant with over 7 years of experience in financial management, auditing, and bookkeeping. My expertise includes compliance, cost control, and financial data reporting. I have a proven track record of ensuring accurate financial records, managing cash transactions, and preparing detailed financial reports.

In my current role at Azul Tours and Travel, I have successfully supervised staff, provided technical support on financial policies, and ensured compliance with regulatory standards. I have also participated in budget preparation and cash flow management. Previously, at Latomilk, I coordinated project accountability, managed vendor accounts, and maintained fixed asset registers.

I hold an MBA in Finance and Accounting from Makerere University and a Bachelor's degree in Commerce. I am proficient in Microsoft Office and SAP, with advanced computer skills that enhance my efficiency in financial analysis and reporting.
