Accounting and finance professional with 13 years' experience leading end-to-end finance and HR operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Business Management & Accounts professional with 13 years of experience in accounting, administration, and human resource management. I’m known for taking ownership of end-to-end finance operations while keeping processes accurate, compliant, and on schedule.
In my current role as Assistant Manager – Finance & Accounts at Shalom Trust, I finalized trial balances and managed month-end/quarter-end closings. I oversee Accounts Payable & Accounts Receivable, handle complex ledger reconciliations, and support payroll processing formats to keep payroll running smoothly.
Before that, as an Accounts Officer at Shalom Trust, I maintained daily cash books and ensured precise transaction verification and posting. I supported systematic data accuracy and reliable financial records that teams can trust for decision-making.
Earlier, as an Administration Officer – Finance & HR, I led end-to-end recruitment and new employee onboarding, and I prepared monthly salary registers, expense reports, and office budgets. I also supervised payroll administration for a team of 200+ employees, and I began my career assisting with statutory audits as an Accountant & Audit Assistant.
