What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a dynamic organization where I can leverage my extensive financial expertise to drive strategic decision-making and support organizational growth.

I am a professional accountant with over twenty years of extensive experience in the NGO and health sectors. My expertise encompasses accounting, budgeting, tax management, bank reconciliations, payroll, and financial analysis. I have successfully managed donor grants and fundraising initiatives, demonstrating my ability to provide strategic financial information for decision-making at the management level.

Throughout my career, I have held significant roles such as Grants and Finance Manager at Shareteah Humanitarian Organization and Finance and Fundraising Manager at Dijla Agricultural Association. My commitment to capacity building is evident in my part-time teaching roles, where I have empowered local students in finance and accounting. I am dedicated to fostering a culture of hard work, determination, and excellence in all my professional endeavors.
