What I'm looking for

I’m transitioning from banking into professional accounting and want to develop a long-term career in accounting and finance while completing the ACCA qualification.

At Permanent TSB, I process daily financial transactions, reconcile cash balances, and maintain records in line with regulatory requirements. I also investigate transaction discrepancies and support compliance with Central Bank of Ireland regulations, AML requirements, and internal controls.

Previously, as an Accounting Officer at United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc., I processed transactions, maintained records for audit and regulatory purposes, and assisted with account reconciliation. I’ve completed the ACCA Foundation in Accountancy FBT exam and am working toward the remaining papers as I transition into professional accounting.
