What I'm looking for

I seek a senior finance role emphasizing robust financial controls, audit readiness, strategic budgeting, team leadership, and opportunities for professional growth in a national or international organization.

I am a finance manager with extensive experience in financial management, auditing and reporting across non-profit and corporate sectors. I combine ACCA studies with a strong background in budgeting, forecasting and liquidity management.

At HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation I lead finance operations, prepare budgets, payroll and fiscal financial statements, and coordinate external audits while supporting procurement and project finance compliance.

Previously at Saint-Gobain Weber I managed finance department responsibilities, prepared AAS and IFRS reports, implemented internal controls, supported credit and asset management, and contributed to strategic planning.

My career began in audit roles at Ernst & Young and Grant Thornton where I developed high analytical skills in testing internal controls, auditing financial statement line items and bookkeeping. I am communicative, organized, and committed to continuous professional development.
