What I'm looking for

I’m looking to work in a dynamic organization that values constant innovation and growth, where I can collaborate with strategic management, strengthen compliance and reporting, and create value through disciplined financial operations and risk-aware decision support.

I’m a Senior Account and Compliance Officer committed to “constant innovation, growth, motivation, and creativity,” helping organizations actualize goals through strategic financial management collaboration. I analyze and present monthly and annual financial reports, oversee budgeting and implementation, and ensure compliance with regulatory frameworks and organizational financial policy. I also manage payroll accounting, reconciliation of balance sheet accounts, fixed assets register maintenance, and tax remittance—coordinating accurate documentation for audits and donor/internal control assessments.

Previously, I advanced financial operations as a Finance Coordinator and Finance Officer—strengthening internal controls, conducting bank reconciliations and discrepancy resolution, preparing trial balances, and supporting budgeting processes. I bring a strong operational mindset from administrative and HR roles, with leadership in training, staff support, and reliable document management through “paperless accounting system- e-voucher, Google form” and accounting tools including QuickBooks and Zoho Books.
