What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can manage budgeting and financial reporting end-to-end, strengthen statutory compliance, and support internal controls through accurate accounting and audit-ready documentation.

I’m a highly motivated, results-oriented Accounting Professional with a Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) Degree in Accounting and Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Part 3 qualification with the Certified Accounting Board of Zimbabwe (CAPBZ). I bring broad experience in financial management, budgeting, financial reporting, payroll administration, statutory compliance, procurement administration, bank reconciliations, audit preparation, and computerized accounting systems.

I’ve supported educational institutions through responsibilities like budget preparation, implementation, monitoring, and variance analysis; monthly budget performance reporting; internal audit across departments; and receipting, banking, and stock reconciliations. I’m experienced with Sage Evolution, Pastel Accounting, and Microsoft Excel, and I also have practical farm accounting exposure from attachment and employment at institutions with active farming operations.
