What I'm looking for

I seek a finance or audit role where I can apply IFRS and AML expertise, lead teams, strengthen controls, improve processes, and deliver accurate, timely financial reporting in a growth-oriented organisation.

I am a Chartered Accountant and auditor with nine years' experience, including four years in financial services across a leading audit firm, a reputable bank, and a microfinance firm. I specialise in IFRS-compliant financial reporting, reconciliations, cash management and management reporting.

I have a proven record of improving accuracy and efficiency through technology and process enhancements — achieving 100% on-time tax and regulatory filings across the 2022–2024 audit cycles and earning operational awards for reducing loan disbursement turnaround times. I have led AML compliance evaluations, coordinated multi-engagement audit teams, and used audit analytics tools to produce actionable management reports.

I mentor and supervise junior staff, strengthen internal controls and support budgeting, forecasting and tax submissions to ensure compliance with GAAP and IFRS. I am eager to bring my technical expertise and team leadership to a role focused on robust financial controls and value-driven reporting.
