What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my financial expertise in a dynamic environment, fostering growth and innovation.

I am an experienced Accountant with over 10 years of expertise in steering financial activities to establish and maintain a robust organizational financial foundation. My proficiency lies in implementing sound accounting strategies, developing internal controls, and providing leadership in accurate financial analysis, reporting, and forecasting. I have a proven track record of optimizing cash flow management, conducting risk assessments, and making strategic decisions that drive financial excellence in dynamic corporate environments.

Currently, I serve as the Finance and Administration Manager at ZIMOCO, where I spearhead the development of key performance indicators (KPIs) to assess business trends and facilitate data-driven decision-making. My efforts have led to significant achievements, including a reduction of penalties from USD 1.4 million to USD 116,000 and a return to profitability after a three-year sabbatical. I am committed to continuous improvement and have successfully implemented budgeting and forecasting processes that ensure precision and accuracy in financial reporting.
