What I'm looking for

I'm seeking to contribute my analytical and operational expertise to a growth-oriented organization.

At Fourth generation capital ltd, I manage financial analysis, budgeting, forecasting, and reporting using Microsoft Dynamics 365. I identify and resolve discrepancies ahead of month-end, improving closing efficiency by 40%.

I process and reconcile more than 200 monthly head office and branch petty cash requests, maintaining zero-discrepancy records. I also prepare general journals, balance ledgers, and support asset verification, keeping the asset register 98% accurate.

Previously, I processed foreign exchange transactions at Norfrax Forex Bureau, balancing daily cash flow with 100% accuracy and following Bank of Uganda regulations and AML/KYC procedures. I also conducted field research across more than 10 districts as a Research Assistant at SB Organization Uganda.
