What I'm looking for

I am seeking an accounting role where I can lead financial reporting, streamline systems, ensure tax compliance, and contribute to process improvements in a collaborative environment.

I am an ACCA-affiliate accountant with over four years' experience in auditing, taxation, financial reporting, and accounting systems implementation, committed to accuracy and compliance.

I have implemented full accounting systems, automated reconciliations to cut reporting time by 50%, prepared IFRS-compliant management accounts, and led tax compliance achieving 100% on-time submissions.

As a collaborative leader and problem-solver, I improve internal controls, streamline payroll and cash processes, support budgeting and inventory controls, and help SMEs enhance financial visibility and reliability.
