What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute my accounting, payroll, compliance, reporting, budgeting, and team leadership experience in a role where I can streamline financial operations and support organizational goals.

I've supported financial operations at Accounting Labs, Mimea Estates, Vikapu Bomba Company, and Iringa Uyoga Company, managing payroll, reconciliations, reporting, and tax compliance.

I use QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP, IBMS, Xero, and advanced Excel to prepare financial reports, resolve historical backlogs, manage client onboarding, and communicate financial insights clearly.

I've also led cross-functional workflows, developed cash-flow plans and budgets, managed statutory filings, supported audits, prepared donor reports and grant proposals, and coordinated projects to keep deliverables on track.
