UgandaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a dependable audit & finance professional with over 6 years of experience across financial reporting, auditing, and compliance. I bring strong expertise in IFRS, ISA, and local tax laws, and I’m known for reliability, integrity, and quick learning. I focus on risk identification, financial management, and practical process improvement to help teams make better decisions.
At Grant Thornton Uganda, I’ve planned and executed audit procedures in line with IFRS, ISA, and the Companies Act 2012, including risk assessments, analytical reviews, and audit planning. I use data analytics to improve audit efficiency and quality, and I prepare draft reports and management letters for client deliverables, contributing to consolidated financial review work for major clients. Previously, I supported grant and organizational finance through tax-compliant payments, payroll, reconciliations, VAT/PAYE/WHT filings, and budgeting, and I handled core accounting tasks like trial balances, bank reconciliations, financial statements, and cashflow monitoring. I’m also pursuing CPA Level 2 (ICPAU) to deepen my professional impact.
