I lead NGO finance operations, strengthening reporting, controls, budgets, and compliance.

At One Dollar Glasses, I lead finance operations across budgeting, reporting, cash flow, compliance, and audits. I reduced month-end closing time by 25%, cut operating expenses by 15%, improved working capital and liquidity by 20%, and led an ERP transition that reduced manual processing by 40%.

I've also strengthened payroll, tax compliance, internal controls, financial reporting, and audit readiness at Crowe COR LLP, Kwetu Home of Peace, and Zhongfa Africa Asia Hotels. As a Certified Public Accountant, I bring over eight years of progressive finance and accounting experience in mission-driven environments.
