What I'm looking for

I’m looking to deepen my finance and compliance impact—supporting healthcare operations with accurate reporting, audit-ready accounts, and data-driven insights that help executives reduce risk and make better decisions.

I’m a finance-driven accounting professional with over 6 years of experience, handling work across both small teams and large organizations. I’m dedicated to exemplary work, integrity, and accurate record keeping—built around transparency, accountability, and compliance.

In my current role with the Ministry of Health and Child Care Zimbabwe, I prepare and coordinate recurrent expenditure, advise executive stakeholders on financial position, and support budgeting through revenue compilation and planning. I also prepare and submit final accounts and statutory returns, manage the Health Services Fund, and oversee credit control activities, including receiving and acquitting donor funds.

I bring strong accounting and reporting capabilities—bookkeeping, tax calculation/reporting, balance sheets, payment processing, and accounts payable/receivable—along with experience participating in procurement and tendering committee work. I’m also studying for ICAZ (CIS), and I’m especially interested in healthcare, quality monitoring, and compliance-driven analysis.
