What I'm looking for

I seek senior finance or audit roles where I can strengthen governance, implement IFRS-compliant controls, mentor teams, and drive operational efficiencies.

I am a Chartered Accountant and PhD in Management with over three decades of experience across finance, investment accounting, internal audit, and administration. I have led teams to design and implement Non-Current Asset Management policies, deliver IFRS implementations (including IFRS 9 and 16, IAS 35), and recover material value for organizations.

At SSNIT I served as Investment Accounts Manager where my reviews and recommendations saved the Trust over GH¢84 million, implemented asset management controls, and trained over 200 managers and staff. I have also served as General Manager (Finance & Administration) and Acting Managing Director at Trust Logistics Limited, transforming operations and improving revenue collection.

I combine technical accounting expertise (IFRS, internal controls, fraud investigation, audit) with strong leadership, policy development, and teaching experience. I seek roles where I can apply deep accounting, asset management, and audit skills to improve financial governance and operational efficiency.
