What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values transparency and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a highly motivated finance and accounting professional with over 15 years of progressive experience in financial management, reporting, and compliance, primarily within international NGOs. My expertise encompasses budgeting, financial analysis, donor reporting, and internal controls, ensuring alignment with organizational and donor requirements.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated proficiency in various accounting software, including Peachtree Accounting, QuickBooks, Sun System, and Abacus. I possess strong advanced Excel skills, which include pivot tables and complex functions like VLOOKUP and XLOOKUP. My commitment to transparency and efficient financial operations has consistently contributed to the success of the organizations I have worked with, and I am eager to leverage my skills to excel in the finance profession.
