What I'm looking for

I’m open to remote and hybrid opportunities, and willing to relocate closer to CPT.

At CLOUDSMART ACCOUNTING, I work across a portfolio of clients, tracing bank, credit-card and payroll transactions to resolve errors, missing entries and incorrect allocations. I’ve improved payroll and transaction processing with templates, hourly-pay calculations and better bank mappings, reducing manual work.

Across public practice and commercial businesses, I’ve handled incomplete records, historical discrepancies, reconciliations and full accounting functions. I completed my BCom in Financial Management while studying part-time, and I’m continuing toward my CGMA qualification through CIMA’s Management Level Case Study Exam.
