What I'm looking for

I am seeking an entry-level finance or bookkeeping role in a supportive organization where I can learn, be mentored, and grow my accounting and reporting skills.

I am a Bachelor of Science in Accounting graduate from Chinhoyi University of Technology (Class of 2025) with hands-on internship experience at Ecocash Holdings, Zimbabwe's largest FinTech. During my internship I prepared and analyzed daily revenue reports, assisted with audits, managed reconciliations and budgets, and used QuickBooks, Pastel and Excel to improve financial processes.

I prioritize accuracy, deadlines, and collaboration, and I have contributed to internal and external audit preparation, tax information gathering, and regular management reporting. I embrace feedback and continuous learning to refine my professional judgment and resilience.

I am eager to start my professional career in a supportive environment where I can apply my accounting foundations, develop technical expertise, and contribute meaningfully to the finance team.
