What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and values teamwork.

I am a dynamic and results-driven graduate from Africa University, holding a Bachelor's degree in Accounting with a 2.1 class honors. With five years of progressive experience in financial accounting and analysis across various industries, including mining, agriculture, and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), I have honed my skills in driving business growth and operational efficiency.

In my current role as a Bookkeeper at Zone-Pro Distribution (Pvt) Ltd, I lead the accounting department and manage administrative duties, ensuring tax compliance and the production of monthly management and financial accounts. My previous experience as an Accounting Supervisor at Murowa Diamonds involved supervising a team and managing complex financial operations, which included overseeing accounts for over 300 suppliers and ensuring timely submissions of tax returns.
