What I'm looking for

I’m available immediately for national deployment. I want to strengthen compliant, audit-ready financial administration—supporting programme operations with accurate reconciliation, verified payments, strong documentation, and reliable reporting in challenging environments.

I’m a Finance, Administration and Internal Audit professional with over 10 years of progressive experience in financial management, accounting operations, internal controls, compliance, and administrative support. I’m known for maintaining accurate financial records, reconciling accounts, preparing audit-ready documentation, and supporting programme operations through strong document control, payment verification, budgeting, reporting, and records management.

Since 2019, I’ve worked as a Programme Executive (Accounts) at the Nigerian Institute of Town Planners (NITP), managing daily financial operations for national programmes and conferences. I prepare monthly financial reports, cash forecasts, and budget monitoring reports; reconcile multiple bank and cash accounts; verify payment requests and supporting documents; ensure compliance with organizational financial procedures and donor regulations; and support internal and external audits through complete documentation.
