What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration, offers growth opportunities, and aligns with my expertise in finance and procurement.

I am a highly analytical and skilled professional with over six years of experience in accounting, auditing, and procurement. My career has been dedicated to aligning financial and contractual projects with organizational goals, ensuring compliance and accountability in donor-funded initiatives. I thrive in problem-solving environments and value teamwork and innovative progression.

Currently, I manage the grants, accounting, and procurement sections at Internews Zambia, where I have successfully enhanced the organization's capacity to deliver impactful programs. My meticulous attention to detail and strong interpersonal skills have enabled me to foster relationships with diverse stakeholders, ensuring transparent communication and compliance with funding requirements.

Previously, I gained invaluable auditing and accounting experience at Grant Thornton Zambia, where I led audit teams and developed strategies for junior auditors. My commitment to precision and excellence in every aspect of the audit process has been a hallmark of my career, and I continuously seek opportunities to grow and contribute to organizational success.
