ACCA-qualified accountant driving accurate financial reporting and compliance.

What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can apply IFRS, tax compliance and systems automation, lead process improvements, and grow into strategic finance leadership.

I am an ACCA-qualified accountant with over 10 years' experience across financial reporting, tax compliance, accounts payable, and project coordination in property management, commodity trading, and consulting.

I specialise in IFRS financial reporting, multi-currency accounting, and tax administration (ZIMRA, SARS), and I have a track record of improving operational accuracy through automation and systems integration using Pastel, Onsite, and advanced Excel.

In my recent role I introduced structured project reporting that reduced delays by 30% and automated data capture that cut processing turnaround by 20%, while maintaining strong compliance with VAT and WHT obligations.

I am currently pursuing an MBA to strengthen my leadership and strategic finance capabilities and seek roles where I can combine technical accounting expertise with process improvement and project coordination to deliver measurable business value.
