What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters professional growth and values strategic financial management.

I am a versatile finance professional with extensive experience in accounting, administrative management, and financial reporting. My career has been marked by a proven track record of implementing efficient financial processes that not only reduce costs but also support organizational objectives through meticulous record-keeping and strategic financial management.

Currently, I serve as the Projects Finance/Administrative Manager at Projects Abroad in Accra, where I manage administrative tasks to ensure smooth office operations and oversee budget management. My previous roles, including Finance Officer at Blue Clouds Networks Limited and Church Treasurer, have equipped me with the skills to prepare accurate financial reports, manage payroll, and implement policies that enhance operational efficiency. I am committed to continuous improvement and providing financial advice that drives better resource allocation.
