Self-motivated financial accountant with expertise in financial reporting.
What I'm looking for
I am a self-motivated financial accountant with a strong foundation in financial reporting and record keeping. I graduated from Lagos State University with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting, achieving Second Class Honors Upper Division. My academic background has equipped me with the necessary skills to excel in the accounting field, and I am currently pursuing my Associate Chartered Accountant certification.
In my current role as a Financial Accountant at Expose Marketing Solution Limited, I have successfully prepared monthly and annual financial reports that provide a clear picture of the organization's financial status, aiding management in decision-making. I have also negotiated overhead costs with vendors, achieving a 25% reduction, and performed operational performance analysis on financial statements, enhancing insights into the organization's financial performance.
Previously, I worked as a Financial Accountant Executive at Talenture Group, where I prepared yearly budgets that guided management planning and decision-making, resulting in a 20% increase in revenue and a 25% increase in profit. My experience as a Financial Accountant Trainee further solidified my skills in data entry, payment processing, and maintaining accurate financial records.
