What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance leadership role where I can drive planning, budgeting, forecasting, and reporting—while strengthening compliance and risk management. I want to support strategic decision-making through data, process improvement, and cross-functional collaboration.

I am a results-driven Finance Manager and Financial Advisor with over 7 years of experience in financial planning, analysis, budgeting, and reporting. I streamline financial operations, improve forecasting accuracy, manage budgets exceeding Ghc20M, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards while implementing cost-saving initiatives. I bring strong analytical skills and advanced proficiency in financial software including SAP, Oracle, and Excel, with a commitment to financial integrity and operational excellence.

At Prudential Life Insurance Ghana, I grew my client portfolio by 60%, managed over Ghc15M in client assets, and raised client retention to 95%. I developed tailored investment plans that improved average client ROI by 12% year-over-year, led financial literacy workshops for over 200 individuals, and reduced client onboarding time by 30% through digital tools and automation. Earlier, as a Revenue/Compliance Officer at the Ghana Revenue Authority, I monitored tax compliance, conducted mini audits and risk assessments, and prepared reports for senior management; during my internship, I used QuickBooks to automate reporting and improve cash flow forecasting accuracy.
