What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can apply accounting, payroll and budgeting expertise, grow professionally, contribute to strong financial controls, and work in a collaborative, mission-driven organization.

I am an accounts technician and finance professional with progressive experience across public and private sectors, including roles in government, banking and church finance. I have led invoice payments, revenue collection, payroll, budget preparation, cash forecasting and financial reporting while supervising staff and ensuring compliance with internal controls.

I hold a Masters in Financial Management and a BA (Hons) in Accounting and Finance, and I pursue continuous development through short courses in AML, agrochemicals management and teaching English. I volunteer as a treasurer and serve on workplace welfare committees, demonstrating strong commitment to community and ethical financial stewardship.
