What I'm looking for

I am seeking a finance or audit role where I can apply IFRS/US GAAP expertise, drive cost recovery, strengthen controls, mentor teams, and support data-driven decision-making.

I am an experienced public accountant with over four years in public audit and more than three years providing full-suite finance support in the oil and gas sector. I combine specialized knowledge of IFRS and US GAAP with practical audit, financial analysis, cost control and stakeholder management experience gained at KPMG, Shell Nigeria Support Services and other organisations.

I have a proven record of delivering 100% cost recovery, improving team productivity through coaching and process improvements, and strengthening internal controls to reduce regulatory exposure. I bring strong technical skills in Power BI, CaseWare, IDEA, eAudIT, Meditech and Microsoft Office, alongside practical experience in budgeting, reporting, and audit planning.
