What I'm looking for
I am a detail-focused finance professional with over four years of experience in the accounting environment. My journey has equipped me with a robust skill set in financial reporting, auditing, analysis, and forecasting. I have a proven track record of creating functional accounting systems and enhancing revenue through strategic internal controls. My commitment to accuracy and efficiency has consistently contributed to the growth and productivity of the organizations I have worked with.
In my most recent role as a Finance Officer at Fedikore, I successfully organized and implemented a comprehensive accounting system, ensuring the accuracy of financial transactions and payroll figures. Previously, as an Internal Auditor at Almond Hospital, I played a pivotal role in increasing revenue by 100% through the establishment of a streamlined revenue collection process and risk management strategies. My educational background in Accounting, complemented by certifications in financial analysis and modeling, further strengthens my ability to deliver exceptional results in finance-related roles.
