What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a challenging position in a conductive environment where I can gain valuable experience and contribute to the organization’s success using my accounting knowledge, ERP exposure, and reliable coordination skills.

I’m a Development Officer (Accounts branch) with years of experience across accounts support, social development coordination, and frontline operations. I’m motivated by a challenging, constructive environment where I can gain valuable experience and contribute to the success of the organization through my knowledge.

My background combines business and management education with ongoing professional accounting development. I completed a B.Com degree (Eastern University of Sri Lanka), a Postgraduate Degree in Management (South Eastern University of Sri Lanka), and I’m reading an MBA program; I also completed the AAT Programme and am studying Chartered Accountancy Level 2 (CAb11). I work confidently with tools such as Tally 9.0 and MS Office 2009, and I’ve completed networking to strengthen my technical capability for organizational systems.

Professionally, I’ve built a strong track record: I worked at Sterling Automobile & Lanka Private Limited as a Sales Promotion Trainee, Management Trainee, and Accounts Assistant (2014–2015). I later served as a District Coordinating Officer in the Social Security Board (2016–2018), managed a retail outlet as Shop Manager at Lanka Sathosa Ltd (2018–2020), and I’m currently serving as a Development Officer (Accounts branch) in the Divisional Secretariat Kiran, Batticaloa since 2022—working with an ERP system and VPN. I’m also actively engaged in knowledge-sharing through seminars and representation opportunities, and I hold membership with MAAT (Association of Accounting Technicians of Sri Lanka).
