What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance role where I can own accounts receivable and reconciliations, strengthen internal controls, and deliver audit-ready reporting. I want to use my tax compliance and cost accounting experience to improve accuracy and collections.

I’m a results-driven Finance and Accounting professional with 5+ years of progressive experience across Fintech, FMCG, pharmaceuticals, and automotive. I focus on accuracy, audit-ready documentation, and operational efficiency—backed by a proven track record of 100% accuracy in financial reconciliations and control measures that support regulatory compliance.

In my current role as an Analyst Accounts Receivable at Cellulant Limited, I manage accounts receivable for multi-currency transactions across 12+ African markets while maintaining 98% collection efficiency. I execute daily cash applications and reconciliation protocols to reduce unapplied cash balances, monitor aging reports to decrease overdue receivables beyond 60 days, and ensure billing disputes are resolved within a 5 business day SLA.

Previously, as an Accountant at Kasha Technologies, I delivered 100% accuracy in daily bank reconciliations across 9+ accounts and strengthened accounts payable by processing 200+ monthly vendor payments while reducing payment delays by 40%. Earlier at Simba Corporation, I processed 300+ supplier invoices with 100% accuracy, eliminated a 6-month invoice backlog within 30 days, and improved cost/pricing accuracy by calculating landed costs for 1,000+ imported spare parts.
