Lydia Nakazibwe
@lydianakazibwe
Senior accountant (ACCA) specializing in IFRS financial reporting, management accounting, treasury, and audit support.
What I'm looking for
I am a qualified Chartered Accountant and an ACCA member with a Bachelor of Commerce and an MBA in progress. I bring 9 years of experience in financial accounting, with a focus on financial reporting and management accounting across multiple dynamic organizations.
In my current role as Senior Accountant, I oversee treasury operations including cash flow monitoring, payment processing, and bank reconciliations. I manage accounts payable and receivable, support investment accounting and portfolio transaction reconciliation, and prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports with accruals, amortizations, and variance analyses.
I also coordinate audit support by producing audit packages, liaising with external auditors, and ensuring compliance with reporting standards and deadlines. I track and verify external financial statements and asset valuations to maintain data accuracy and completeness, and I provide ad hoc financial analyses to support management decision-making.
Earlier, I worked as a Qualified Accountant and Finance Assistant, strengthening IFRS-focused compliance and end-to-end reporting. I owned budgeting and budget performance analysis, costing of products and services, month-end journal entries, fixed asset register governance (acquisition through disposal), statutory returns (PAYE, VAT, LST, WHT, NSSF), and payroll and statutory deductions—always prioritizing accuracy, timeliness, and accountability.
