What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my accounting skills and offers growth opportunities.

I am an accomplished accountant with over 5 years of experience in accounting and bookkeeping. My journey began with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, majoring in Accounting, and I am currently pursuing a CPA certification from the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Uganda. My extensive knowledge of accounting principles and practices has enabled me to maintain high levels of accuracy and efficiency in all my financial dealings.

In my current role as an Accountant at Newmatic Appliances Ltd, I manage daily financial transactions, ensure compliance with GAAP guidelines, and oversee payroll services. My previous experiences as a Research Assistant and Technical Campaign Coordinator have honed my skills in data management and project coordination, allowing me to contribute effectively to various teams and projects. I pride myself on my problem-solving abilities, strong communication skills, and a commitment to delivering quality results.
