What I'm looking for

I’m looking to contribute to a growth-oriented organization in Finance, Accounting, Tax, Audit, or Financial Analyst work—using my 4+ years in tax compliance, bookkeeping, reporting, and audit preparation to support accurate decisions under tight deadlines.

I’m a detail-oriented Finance, Accounting, and Tax Professional with 4+ years of experience supporting financial management, bookkeeping, tax compliance, and financial reporting. I’ve handled individual, corporate, VAT, and turnover tax returns, while strengthening taxpayer compliance and reducing the risk of statutory penalties.

I prepare audit reports, evaluate financial records, and identify compliance gaps to help clients address financial risks proactively. I also manage payroll administration, inventory controls, reconciliation, and cost/cashflow analysis to improve operational efficiency and decision-making.

I work confidently across remote, hybrid, and office-based environments, using digital tools to keep financial records accurate and meet strict deadlines. I’m currently pursuing a CPA qualification and a Diploma in Tax Administration, and I’m excited to bring my finance, tax, and audit support skills to a growth-oriented team.
