What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role applying accounting, budgeting and cost-control expertise in a collaborative organization that values accuracy, continuous learning and opportunities for process improvement and career growth.

I am an experienced accounting professional with a strong background in manufacturing and supply-chain finance, having held roles from Junior Accountant to Chief Transport Accountant and Assistant Financial Controller. I have led budgeting, month-end close, IFRS-compliant financial reporting, cost control, fixed asset management, and variance analysis to support operational decision-making.

I am skilled with advanced MS Excel and multiple ERP systems (SAP, Hilmark, NAV, Kingdee, Peachtree), trained in IFRS and Ethiopian taxation, and an ACCA student. I bring a disciplined, detail-oriented approach, a track record of process improvement and audit support, and eagerness to contribute reliably to a finance team.
