What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance role where I can own accounts payable, ensure IFRS/GAAP compliance and statutory filings, and use SQL/Tableau-driven analysis to improve reporting accuracy, audit readiness, and cost efficiency.

I’m a Finance Specialist with 10+ years of experience driving financial accuracy, compliance, and efficiency across corporate and client environments. I’m known for delivering timely reports, ensuring 100% compliance with statutory filings, and strengthening audit readiness.

In my current role at Shujaazinc Limited, I direct end-to-end accounts payable and oversee supplier payments with 100% timeliness while maintaining strict internal control and audit standards. I leverage QuickBooks Online to manage prepayments, journal entries, and reconciliations, protecting 99% data integrity and improving monthly statement accuracy.

I also partner with management on budgeting and financial planning, using variance analyses to support informed decisions and reduce operational costs. From VAT, Withholding Tax, and WVAT filings to bank and credit card reconciliations and audit schedule preparation, I focus on accuracy, transparency, and practical insights that improve cash flow visibility and long-term financial sustainability.
