I'm currently managing end-to-end accounting, tax compliance, payroll, reporting, budgets, and cashflows for Kalesa Logistics Ltd and MASCCOR Construction in the mining sector.

Previously at Eco Petroleum Ltd, I progressed from Accounts Assistant to Chief Accountant, where I handled ZRA queries, VAT returns, reconciliations, receivables and payables, year-end accounts, audit documentation, and supervision of accounting staff. I also supported retail grocery operations through bookkeeping, supplier accounts, cash-flow monitoring, inventory tracking, and stock counts.

I've built practical Excel-based financial models, implemented accounting systems and financial procedures, and coordinate statutory obligations including NAPSA, NHIMA, and Workers' Compensation.
