@silajosephkeli
Accountant and procurement professional driving efficiency through finance and supply chain insight.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven accountant with experience across FMCG, e-commerce and manufacturing, combining a strong academic foundation in finance and economics with hands-on roles in procurement, finance and operations. I leverage ERP systems, advanced Excel analytics and robust reconciliation practices to ensure accuracy and support strategic decision-making.
In procurement and supply-chain roles I have onboarded new suppliers, introduced product lines, reduced delivery and quality issues, and negotiated favourable credit terms that improved cash flow. In finance roles I have maintained flawless reconciliation standards, processed vouchers and journal entries with high accuracy, and improved financial reporting turnaround.
I am practical, detail-oriented and committed to continuous improvement, having led AI project pilots, training initiatives that cut wastage, and operational changes that increased sales and export volumes. I seek to contribute my analytical and operational skills to an ambitious organization that values precision and measurable results.
