## About

```text
At OCS Integrated Services Nig Ltd, I set up the accounting and financial control structure for the joint venture. I also prepared a detailed structure for management accounts and financial statements.

At C&I LEASING PLC, I worked in the Finance Control Unit, first as an Account Executive and then as a Senior Account Executive. I revamped finance processes, improved operational efficiency, and helped clear a three-month bank reconciliation backlog across more than 100 accounts.

Earlier at Premier Worldwide Logistics Nigeria Limited, I designed an Excel-based daily accounts payable tracking system for senior managers’ access to current financial data. I also administered payroll scheduling and computation for more than 800 employees.

My experience also includes procurement at Netrolen Energy Nigeria and accounting roles at Panalpina World Transport Nigeria Limited. I hold a B.Sc. in Accounting & Finance from AMBROSE ALI UNIVERSITY, EPKOMA, and ACCA is in view.
