What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance and administration role where I can own reporting, manage statutory tax and audit readiness, and use data-driven insights to improve profitability, customer satisfaction, and day-to-day operations.

I’m a finance and administration professional with 8+ years' experience across education, logistics, events and customer service. I set up and digitized complete accounting systems, managed statutory tax compliance, and supported external audits.

In my roles, I’ve prepared monthly journals, reconciliations, balance sheets and annual reports, while computing tax owed and preparing and filing statutory returns. I also supported month/year-end closes and produced accounts for external audits, resolving discrepancies and variances.

I bring practical, hands-on accounting software experience with SAP Business One, Sage 200 and QuickBooks, plus strong administration and customer service capabilities. I’ve contributed to a 20% sales increase through data-driven reporting, and I’m currently pursuing CPA (Part II, KASNEB) to deepen my impact.
