What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior finance roles where I can lead finance teams, strengthen controls and compliance, manage donor-funded programs, and drive accurate, timely reporting.

I am a Certified Public Accountant and member of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Uganda with an MBA in progress and a BBA (Accounting) from Makerere University. I have built deep expertise in financial management, reporting, budgeting, project accounting, treasury, payroll and donor compliance across NGOs, microfinance, hospitality, publishing and software organizations.

I have led country and global finance teams, driven month-end and consolidation processes, managed audits and statutory returns, and implemented controls and cost-allocation frameworks to safeguard funds and improve decision-making. I consistently meet reporting deadlines, strengthen financial integrity, and provide leadership to ensure best-practice finance operations.
