What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in finance that promotes growth and integrity.

I am a dedicated finance professional with over 15 years of experience in both international and local NGO sectors, specializing in accounting and administration. My career has been marked by a commitment to excellence and integrity, ensuring transparency and compliance in all financial operations. I have successfully managed funding incomes, prepared annual audits, and maintained unqualified external audit records for over a decade.

Throughout my career, I have worked with reputable organizations such as USAID, UNICEF, and the International Committee of the Red Cross, where I honed my skills in financial reporting, cash flow management, and procurement processes. My ability to work under pressure and my attention to detail have consistently contributed to achieving organizational goals and maintaining high standards of financial governance.

Currently, as the Head of Finance and Administration at Africa AHEAD, I oversee all financial operations, ensuring that all processes align with donor requirements and organizational objectives. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to contribute to sound management practices and foster good corporate governance in my next role.
