What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth and challenges in financial management.

I am a highly motivated finance professional with over 8 years of experience in accounting, financial reporting, budgeting, and grant management. My career has been marked by a proven ability to optimize financial processes and deliver exceptional support for organizational goals. I have a strong analytical skill set and am proficient in tools like QuickBooks and Microsoft Excel, which I leverage to ensure accuracy and compliance in financial reporting.

In my current role as Finance Manager at Deutsche Welle Akademie, I spearhead financial management for international media development activities, managing grants worth over 600,000 euros. My previous experiences include working as a Systems Auditor and Accountant, where I successfully implemented internal controls and streamlined financial processes. I am passionate about using my expertise to drive financial efficiency and support organizational success.
