What I'm looking for

I’m looking to drive finance operations with strong internal controls—owning budgeting, reconciliations, audit coordination, and systems improvements in donor-funded, multi-program environments.

I’m an FCCA Finance Operations Coordinator with 10+ years in project finance, administration, and operational accounting. I prepare monthly financial statements and reconciliations across bank, cash, procurement, and logistics within multi-currency accounts.

I oversee budget management, forecasting, and international NGO/media financial monitoring across multiple programmes, strengthening compliance with donor and regulatory requirements. I lead and support internal and external audit processes, including documentation, testing, resolution reporting, and donor-funded grants follow-up.

Known for improving internal controls and accelerating month-end close, I’ve standardized procurement packs and boosted first-time-right submission rates through training of 20+ staff/partners. I’m adept with ERP/nance systems and tools like MS Excel (VLOOKUP, SUMIFS, Pivot Tables), supporting ongoing financial system and asset management improvements.
