What I'm looking for

I seek a senior finance role where I can lead financial planning, strengthen controls, ensure regulatory compliance, mentor teams, and drive sustainable growth.

I am a Chartered Accountant with over seven years of progressive experience providing finance leadership across healthcare, banking, construction, education, and logistics sectors. I specialize in financial reporting, budgeting, taxation, treasury management and strengthening internal control frameworks.

I have led transitions from manual to digitized accounting systems, designed structured accounting frameworks, and reconstructed financial records to produce reliable, decision-ready reports. My work has improved liquidity, reduced overdue receivables, and enhanced financial transparency.

I regularly prepare management accounts, variance analysis and board-level reporting, and I have ensured 100% compliance with regulatory reporting requirements including CBN and tax authorities. I also have hands-on experience with payroll administration, bank reconciliations and multi-branch GL reconciliations.

I build and mentor high-performing teams, drive process improvements and embed disciplined financial oversight to support sustainable business growth and informed strategic decision-making.
