What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply tax and management accounting expertise, support compliance and planning, drive process improvements, and grow client-focused advisory services.

I am an ambitious accountant with broad private-sector experience and a strong focus on tax consultancy, management accounting, and financial reporting. I run a tax consultancy start-up, prepare business income tax returns, support audits, and advise clients on tax planning and compliance.

I have led financial reporting, payroll for 50–75+ employees, implemented paperless processes that reduced overheads by 30%, improved cash flow and operational reporting, and supported due diligence and structuring for business opportunities. I am proficient with QuickBooks, Sage Pastel, Palladium Accounting, MS Office and Excel-based reporting systems.
