What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my analytical skills and offers opportunities for professional growth in a dynamic environment.

I am a finance and forensic audit professional with over 7 years of experience in financial reporting, internal controls, compliance, and risk assessment. I hold a Master’s in Forensic Auditing and a BSc in Accountancy, which have equipped me with a strong foundation in financial principles and practices. My career has been marked by a proven track record in budgeting, statutory compliance, asset register management, and cost control, ensuring financial integrity in both educational and industrial environments.

Currently, I serve as the Assistant Financial Controller at Falcon College, where I prepare and review monthly management accounts and forecasts for financial planning. I provide risk-based financial advisory to senior leadership and ensure statutory compliance while supporting external audits. My previous roles have included positions such as Assistant Bookkeeper and Assistant Bursar, where I honed my skills in reconciliations, payroll processing, and financial control enhancements. I am adept at using financial systems including SAP, Pastel, QuickBooks, and Belina, and I excel in stakeholder engagement and team collaboration.
