I’m an accounting professional specializing in public-sector finance and revenue accounting.
GhanaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven accounting professional pursuing ICAG Level 2, with public-sector finance expertise at the Ghana Lands Commission. I bring hands-on experience supporting accurate accounting through verified memorandums, letters, and payment vouchers (PVs), while maintaining journals, ledgers, and financial statements for the Land Valuation Division.
In my internship role at Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA), I processed property rate and business operation permit payments, matched transactions precisely against bank remittances, and helped resolve billing/valuation discrepancies through direct taxpayer support. I’m energized by accountability-focused work and recently led the “FixMyRide” UN SDG 9 Hackathon project, combining service delivery thinking with practical execution.
