@lacksonchinjikupi
Detail-oriented accountant with expertise in financial reporting and audits.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated accountant with over seven years of experience in financial management and auditing. My journey began with a Finance and Administration internship at African Sun Hotels, where I honed my skills in processing payments and managing financial records. This foundational experience paved the way for my role as an Assistant Internal Auditor at Tile and Carpet Centre, where I conducted stock audits and ensured compliance with company policies.
In my most recent position as an Accountant at Tile and Carpet Centre, I have been responsible for preparing monthly management accounts, variance reports, and financial reconciliations. My proactive approach to monitoring costs against budgets has led to significant cost-reduction opportunities. I take pride in my ability to participate in internal and external audits, providing valuable insights and implementing recommendations that enhance financial integrity and operational efficiency.
