What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role that leverages my financial expertise to drive business growth and improvement, with opportunities for professional development and collaboration with a dynamic team.

As a seasoned accountant, I leverage financial and non-financial data to support optimal management decision-making. With a proven track record of cutting month-end close time by 60%, I excel in financial reporting, management accounting, internal controls, and analytics. My expertise spans multiple industries, including manufacturing, agriculture, FMCG, health, and public accounting services.

With a strong educational background, including a BSc (Hons) in Applied Accounting and certifications in Financial Modelling & Valuation Analysis and Data Analytics, I possess a unique blend of technical and soft skills. I am proficient in various accounting software, including QuickBooks, Pastel Accounting, and Sage Business Cloud Accounting, as well as advanced MS Excel.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to drive business growth through data-driven decision-making, process improvement, and effective stakeholder engagement. I am a team leader, highly adaptable, and a self-starter, with a passion for continuous learning and professional development.
