What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build a long-term career in Accounting and Finance, develop and use my skills and experience, and contribute to financial decision-making and organizational goals.

At Joyful Crown Academy, I prepare bank reconciliation statements and maintain records of tuition fee collections, payments, and balances. I also prepare monthly and annual financial reports for school management and board meetings.

Previously, at M.T.I. Ghana Ltd, I prepared invoices and tax returns, reconciled bank statements, and recorded transactions using Tally. My accounting work has also included accounts payable and receivable, budgets, and financial reporting.
