What I'm looking for

My expertise lies in analyzing financial records and effectively communicating to resolve tax-related matters, ensuring the interests of both the government and taxpayers are served.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated diligence and attention to detail, particularly in reviewing data and identifying anomalies to maintain the integrity of information. My role at the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority has allowed me to promote transparency through clear reporting during audits and develop strong relationships with taxpayers, fostering trust and encouraging voluntary compliance.

I am committed to continuous professional development, staying current on industry trends and best practices in revenue collections. My analytical problem-solving skills have enabled me to identify potential fraud cases, leading to the recovery of unpaid taxes and the prevention of revenue loss. I am eager to leverage my skills and experience in a challenging new role.
