What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to utilize my financial expertise in sustainable development and renewable energy, while fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment.

I am a highly successful chartered accountant with extensive experience in the energy sector, particularly in renewable energy and sustainable development finance. My career has been marked by a commitment to excellence in financial analysis, investment appraisal, and regulatory compliance. Currently, I serve as a Financial Analyst at the Energy Regulation Board, where I undertake financial evaluations and assist in the development of realistic tariffs for the electricity sub-sector. My hands-on experience has honed my skills in financial modelling and auditing, enabling me to provide valuable insights and advice to stakeholders.

Previously, I held the position of Manager in Audit and Assurance at HLB Zambia, where I improved audit quality and provided critical business advice to clients across various industries. My tenure at Deloitte further solidified my expertise in auditing and internal controls, allowing me to develop a keen understanding of financial statements and compliance requirements. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to sustainable financial practices and drive positive change in the energy sector.
