What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an accounts/finance role where I can deliver timely reporting, accurate reconciliations, payroll processing, and strong tax compliance, while continuously improving controls through analysis and clear audit-ready records.

I’m a dedicated Accounts Officer with over 5 years of experience in financial management and accounting. I focus on accuracy in financial data entry, bank reconciliations, and accounts payable processes, while supporting strong financial controls.

In my roles, I prepare timely monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports, run budget performance analysis and forecasts, and help management plan with reliable financial data. I also handle payroll processing and ensure compliance with statutory obligations such as PAYE, NSSF, VAT, WHT, and income tax returns.

I bring a problem-solving, analytical approach—identifying financial strengths and areas for improvement, contributing to improved operational efficiency, and supporting audits with clear, well-maintained records.
