What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values collaboration and offers opportunities for professional growth in finance.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented finance professional with over 4 years of hands-on experience in accounting and financial management within the NGO sector. My proficiency in financial software systems, such as Sylogist, enables me to ensure compliance with donor regulations and maintain accurate financial reporting. I pride myself on my strong understanding of accounting principles, reconciliation processes, and audit procedures, which I leverage to support cross-functional teams effectively.

In my current role as a Finance and Administration Associate, I manage accounting processes, oversee payroll, and coordinate with external stakeholders to ensure smooth financial operations. My proactive problem-solving skills and excellent communication abilities have allowed me to provide valuable financial support during project execution. I have successfully led various initiatives, including procurement and logistics coordination, ensuring adherence to policies and efficient supply chain management.
