What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and values collaboration.

Over the years, I’ve developed and executed comprehensive audit plans, assessed internal controls, and provided strategic recommendations to mitigate risks and enhance operational efficiency. My experience spans both the public and private sectors, including roles in government finance, agriculture enterprise, and freelance accounting.

In my roles as an Internal Auditor (ONB & DTI), I’ved led full-cycle audits, performed risk assessments, ensured compliance with internal policies and regulatory standards, and communicated findings to stakeholders through detailed reports and follow-up reviews.

As a Finance Management Officer, I’ve coordinated budgeting processes, monitored fund utilization, and supported financial reporting to both local and international oversight bodies, including IFAD and COA.

My work as an Accountant (both freelance and in agribusiness) reflects strong expertise in financial reporting, reconciliation, payroll processing, and cost management, along with practical knowledge of logistics and production in the agriculture sector.

My career reflects a balanced skill set in auditing, financial planning, compliance, and operations management, supported by strong communication, analytical, and problem-solving abilities.
