What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment.

I am a detail-oriented accounting and credit control professional with over three years of experience in managing financial transactions and preparing error-free financial statements. My expertise lies in ensuring tax compliance and streamlining payment systems, which has significantly improved financial accuracy in my previous roles.

At Standard Global East Africa Ltd, I developed tracking systems for vendor invoices that improved payment efficiency by 30% and implemented automated bank reconciliation software, reducing reconciliation time by 40%. My strong analytical skills and attention to detail have enabled me to work effectively both independently and collaboratively in fast-paced environments, consistently delivering high-quality results.

With a solid foundation in GAAP and proficiency in tools like QuickBooks, Microsoft Excel, and Zoho, I am committed to enhancing financial processes and contributing to organizational success. I am eager to leverage my skills and experience in a challenging new role that allows for professional growth and development.
