UgandaWhat I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Accounts Payable Accountant with over a decade of experience in implementing cost-saving measures and ensuring compliance with financial regulations. My proactive approach and strong analytical skills have enabled me to establish transparent payment systems that significantly reduce expenses and enhance compliance levels.
Throughout my career, I have successfully managed accounts payable operations, ensuring accurate invoice verifications and timely payments. At Strabag International GmbH, I implemented the EFRIS invoicing system, which improved compliance and resolved numerous compliance claims. My dedication to accuracy and efficiency has led to a reduction in cash outflow by eliminating avoidable expenses through prompt payments.
In previous roles, I have strengthened internal controls, improved cash management, and enhanced compliance with statutory obligations. I am committed to continuous professional development and seek to advance my career by taking on new challenges that involve managerial and strategic decision-making.
