What I'm looking for
I am an Economics and Statistics graduate with CPA Level II certification and hands-on accounting experience across small and mid-sized organizations. I prepare financial statements, manage accounts payable/receivable, file statutory tax returns, run budgets and forecasts, and use ERP systems such as Odoo and Zoho (Zoho Books, Zoho Inventory) alongside statistical tools (IBM SPSS, STATA) to support data-driven decisions.
I bring strong bookkeeping, reconciliations, inventory control and payroll management experience, plus a track record in financial and variance analysis, audit support, and research. I am detail-oriented, professional, and eager to grow in a challenging role where I can contribute to organizational success while developing my expertise.
