I am a results-driven finance professional and Certified National Accountant (ANAN) with over four years of experience across financial reporting, operational leadership, budgeting, and regulatory compliance. Currently pursuing an MBA at the Federal University of Jos and advancing my ACCA qualification, I specialize in translating complex financial data into actionable, growth-oriented business strategies.

Financial Accounting & Process Optimization: In my previous role as Financial Accountant, I transformed internal workflows—reducing payroll processing time from two weeks down to 2–3 days and shortening annual audit turnaround times from months to just 6 weeks.
Tax & Statutory Compliance: I maintained a 100% track record in timely tax filings (VAT, PAYE) and statutory compliance, completely eliminating penalty fees and significantly reducing corporate tax liabilities.
Public Sector & Audit Expertise: My foundational background includes experience with the Office of the Auditor General for the Federation (managing SAP accounting operations) and Nero Maliki & Co., where I structured management accounts and audited related-party transactions.
Core Skills & Software
Financial Management: Financial Reporting, Budgeting & Forecasting, Variance Analysis, Tax Planning, and Cost Optimization.
Technical Tools: QuickBooks, SAP, and Advanced Microsoft Excel.
Key Strengths: Strategic Planning, Stakeholder Management, and Operational Leadership.
