What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster professional growth and allow me to leverage my financial expertise in a dynamic team environment.

I am a dedicated professional with a passion for excellence, possessing a proven track record in managing diverse projects while consistently meeting deadlines. My strong organizational skills, resilience, and accountability have been crucial in achieving successful outcomes. I thrive in collaborative environments and am always seeking to expand my skills in financial management, business analysis, and strategic planning.

With a bachelor’s degree in commerce and ongoing CPA certification, I have a solid foundation in accounting principles and financial practices. My experience as an Administrative Assistant at Power Network Communication Limited has equipped me with the ability to enhance financial operations, conduct thorough bank reconciliations, and generate insightful financial statements using QuickBooks. I have also assumed leadership responsibilities as Acting Managing Director, demonstrating my capability to guide management decisions effectively.
