What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end accounting—financial reporting, planning, internal controls, and audit support—while staying fully compliant with tax and statutory requirements and improving accuracy of group and unit performance.

I’m a highly organized, detail-oriented accountant with more than 7 years’ experience supplying administrative and financial support. I focus on contract management, financial planning and reporting, preparing and presenting subsidiary financial statements for entire groups, and eliminating intercompany transactions and balances to prevent double counting.

I ensure compliance with accounting standards and tax regulations through statutory filings, and I implement internal controls to safeguard assets and improve data accuracy. I’ve worked closely with external auditors, handled bank reconciliations across subsidiaries, and earlier roles strengthened my end-to-end capability across payroll preparation, AP/AR, debt collection, cashflow projections, stock control, and payment processing.
