What I'm looking for

I am looking for a remote role that values innovation and offers opportunities for strategic growth.

I am an experienced financial management professional with over 6 years of progressive experience in donor fund administration, budgeting, and financial reporting. My expertise lies in managing budgets up to USD 50,000 across multiple concurrent projects, enhancing accounting operations through automation and system integration. I have a proven track record of improving financial reporting quality, which has resulted in increased donor funding.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed end-to-end accounting operations, developed and executed budget forecasts, and ensured compliance with financial regulations. My experience includes collaborating remotely with teams across various regions, facilitating seamless financial reporting, and achieving significant cost reductions. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in a remote financial/accounting role that values innovation, compliance, and strategic growth.
