What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role in an accountable, mission-driven organization where I can lead donor-funded financial management, strengthen controls, support transparency, and build team capacity.

I am an experienced finance and compliance professional with over six years supporting NGOs and government projects, focused on transparency and effective program support.

My academic background includes a Master’s and Bachelor’s in Accounting & Finance, strengthened by training in donor-funded project accounting, internal auditing, and international finance.

I have hands-on experience in ERP systems (SAP, Oracle), financial reporting, budgeting, procurement, logistics, and internal controls, with demonstrated roles in finance officer, logistics admin, procurement, and internal audit.

I am multilingual (Somali, English, Amharic, Arabic) and committed to accountability, capacity building, and delivering accurate financial information to support decision-making in humanitarian and development contexts.
