What I'm looking for

I am seeking a finance role focused on accounting, payroll, and financial reporting in a collaborative environment where I can improve processes, ensure compliance, and grow professionally.

I am a finance professional with practical experience across accounting, payroll, reconciliations, and financial reporting, built through national service and multiple internships in Ghana and remote roles. I hold a BSc in Business Administration (Banking & Finance) and am pursuing an MBA in Finance at the University of Ghana.

My experience includes managing accounts payable/receivable, processing payroll and statutory filings for clients, preparing monthly financial statements, performing bank reconciliations, and using accounting software such as Sage X3, QuickBooks and TallyPrime. I have led small teams for academic initiatives, organized financial seminars, and contributed to finance club operations and student support activities.

I bring strong Microsoft Excel skills, attention to internal controls and ethics, and practical exposure to taxation, payroll management, and financial analysis. I seek roles where I can apply accounting and finance skills to improve financial operations, reporting accuracy, and process efficiency.
