What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role that offers exposure to full-function finance or management accounting processes. A chance to contribute to budgeting, forecasting, or financial analysis initiatives. Opportunities to assist or lead in month-end close, reporting, or tax compliance.

I am a results-driven Management Accounting graduate with a strong foundation in financial analysis, account reconciliation, and payroll management. My experience as a Finance intern, Finance Assistant, and Accounts Payable Specialist has equipped me with the skills necessary to support financial operations effectively. I have a proven track record of achieving profitability in a small software business, demonstrating my ability to contribute positively to a company's financial health.

Currently, I work as an Accounts Payable Specialist at Babble Cloud Limited, where I manage vendor relationships and oversee a significant volume of transactions. My role involves meticulous invoice processing, account reconciliation, and process improvement initiatives. I am dedicated to enhancing operational efficiency and ensuring compliance with accounting standards, all while pursuing my CIMA qualification and aspiring to become a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA).
