What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance role where I can own IFRS reporting and tax compliance, strengthen internal controls, and use automation/ERP to improve cash flow and profitability—while collaborating with leadership to support sustainable growth.

I’m a detail-oriented, results-driven Accountant with five years of progressive experience managing financial operations, reporting, and compliance across diverse industries. I bring strong expertise in budgeting, payroll, reconciliation, and tax management to deliver accuracy, integrity, and actionable financial insight.

In my current role as Senior Accountant at GANDSE Renewables, I oversee and mentor junior accountants, prepare and analyze consolidated financial reports in compliance with IFRS, and ensure VAT, PAYE, and sector-specific tax and levy compliance. I manage cash flow for large-scale projects, coordinate with banks for loan disbursements and guarantees, and act as a liaison to auditors, regulators, and consultants.

I’ve also driven measurable improvements through process automation and ERP optimization, strengthening internal controls and identifying financial risks early. Previously at Gandse Company LLC, I established a comprehensive accounting system and supported business growth by collaborating to secure a ₦440 million BOI loan guarantee—combining financial modeling, forecasting, and clear management reporting.
