What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior accounting or finance roles where I can lead financial reporting, improve controls, support strategic decisions, and contribute to profitable, compliant growth.

I am an experienced accountant and finance executive with over 15 years' practice across accounting, financial reporting, analysis, compliance and risk management. I hold a BCom in Accounting and Finance, a diploma in Business Management and Accounting, and I am currently pursuing an MBA.

My career has included hands-on roles preparing monthly bank reconciliations, posting sales and expense transactions, verifying expenditures, payroll reconciliation and preparing ZRA tax filings. I have prepared annual financial statements including statements of comprehensive income, financial position and cash flows.

I have driven daily finance operations to support business activities, analysed financial statements against forecasts and prepared high-level variance analysis, and contributed to budgeting and project scope determination. I have liaised with executive committees to establish corporate strategies and identify revenue opportunities.

I also built and maintained relationships with corporate customers, developed an accounting manual to improve efficiency, and overseen finances and statutory compliance for a small waste-removal business I managed alongside formal employment.
