What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my financial expertise while fostering team growth and innovation.

I am a finance and administration manager with extensive experience in financial management, reporting, and compliance. Currently, I serve as the Finance and Administration Manager at The Good Shop in Mauritius, where I oversee financial reporting, budget preparation, and ensure adherence to regulatory compliance. My role also involves strategic formulation and implementation, which has significantly contributed to the organization's operational efficiency.

Previously, I held leadership positions at Zaburi Beach Resort in Malawi, where I was responsible for business strategy development and overall management of operations. My background includes a strong foundation in auditing and accounting, having worked with KPMG as an Audit Supervisor, where I led audit engagements and trained junior staff. My diverse experience across various sectors has equipped me with the skills to manage complex financial operations effectively.
