What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my extensive accounting experience while contributing to a dynamic team environment.

I am a seasoned accountant with over 40 years of experience in various accounting roles across multiple industries. My career began as an Accounts Assistant at Dilum Builders Limited, where I honed my foundational skills in accounting. Over the years, I have progressed through various positions, including Accounts Clerk at Triton Hotel and Assistant Accountant at Mercantile Credit Ltd, where I developed a strong understanding of financial operations.

Most recently, I served as an Accountant at The Overseas School of Colombo, where I was responsible for preparing monthly management accounts and budgets using Sage 300. My hands-on experience with Sage 300 modules, including Accounts Payable, General Ledger, and Cash Book, has equipped me with the technical skills necessary to manage complex financial tasks. I take pride in my ability to supervise salary functions and liaise effectively with auditors to ensure compliance and accuracy in financial reporting.
