I’m looking for consulting or leadership opportunities where I can use my tax, finance and project management expertise to solve problems and drive impact.

I help organisations navigate tax, finance, compliance and complex business challenges, turning technical issues into practical, workable solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced tax and finance professional with over 15 years of experience spanning tax administration, tax advisory, compliance, financial management, and project management. My career has given me a strong understanding of both the tax authority and business perspectives, enabling me to approach tax and financial issues from both a technical and practical standpoint.
I spent approximately 14 years working within a Revenue Authority environment, gaining extensive experience in tax administration, compliance, taxpayer engagement, tax risk management, audits, interpretation and application of tax legislation, and the resolution of complex tax matters. This experience has given me a strong understanding of how tax authorities assess risk and compliance, as well as how businesses can strengthen their tax governance and manage their obligations effectively.
I subsequently gained private-sector experience in Tanzania, where I worked in a commercial environment and developed a broader understanding of business operations and financial management. I also served as a Finance & Administration Manager for an international organisation, overseeing financial and administrative processes, reporting, payroll, statutory compliance, budgeting, controls, and operational systems. This strengthened my ability to connect technical financial and tax considerations with wider organisational objectives.
I hold an MBA in Finance and am PMP certified, with additional professional training and experience across taxation, finance, administration, and project management. I enjoy work that requires analytical thinking, problem-solving, stakeholder engagement, research, and translating complex technical requirements into practical solutions.
My professional interests include tax advisory and strategy, international and cross-border taxation, tax risk and compliance, tax health checks, transaction and business structuring, market-entry advisory, financial management, project management, and consulting. I am particularly interested in working with organisations expanding into new markets, navigating complex regulatory environments, improving financial and tax processes, or undertaking strategic projects.
I am open to remote, consulting, contract, project-based, and permanent opportunities, particularly with organisations that value experienced professionals who can work independently, manage complex assignments, communicate effectively with stakeholders, and deliver practical, commercially relevant solutions.
I am motivated by opportunities where I can combine my technical expertise, professional experience, and project management skills to solve problems, improve systems, manage risk, and create meaningful organisational impact.
