What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can lead reporting and compliance, improve processes, support audits, and grow into broader financial leadership.

I am a results-driven finance and administrative professional with hands-on experience in financial reporting, budgeting, auditing, and administrative operations. I deliver accurate financial information and support strategic decision-making through clear analysis.

In recent roles I led a finance team, prepared monthly, quarterly, and annual reports, supported external audit preparation, and managed tax remittance and compliance with FIRS and LIRS. I have practical experience with QuickBooks, Zoho Books, and Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

I have improved reconciliation processes, maintained asset registers, prepared budgets, and streamlined administrative workflows including calendar management, procurement, and vendor relations. I consistently focus on process improvement and operational efficiency.

I hold HND and ND qualifications in Banking & Finance and a Virtual Assistant Certification, and I bring strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills to help businesses scale and remain compliant.
