I am an accomplished Accounts Executive with a strong background in accounting and finance, currently working at Promolanka Marketing (Pvt) Ltd since November 2021. My role involves managing day-to-day financial transactions, assisting with costing, and ensuring compliance with accounting policies. I pride myself on my ability to track and analyze expenses, which has supported various cost-control initiatives within the organization.

Previously, I held positions at Richard Pieris & Company PLC and Bank of Ceylon, where I honed my skills in financial reporting and internal auditing. My educational background includes a B.Sc. in Accounting from the University of Sri Jayewardenepura, complemented by professional qualifications from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka.
