What I'm looking for

I am seeking a finance role where I can lead/accounts manage financial operations, strengthen controls, support budgeting and reporting, and grow into greater managerial responsibility within a collaborative, impact-focused organization.

I am a results-oriented finance professional with hands-on experience in accounts management, budgeting, and financial reporting gained across corporate and development-sector roles. I bring meticulous record-keeping, strong compliance awareness, and a commitment to timely, accurate financial operations.

At Drone Link I managed budgets, project costing, invoicing, receivables, donor/grant funds, and prepared monthly and annual financial statements while strengthening internal controls and managing financial risks. I have practical experience with payroll administration, procurement oversight, asset management, and statutory compliance.

Previously I supported finance teams at the Malawi Investment and Trade Centre and CECOWDA, where I reconciled transactions, processed invoices and tax payments, maintained financial records, and assisted in preparing balance sheets and project budgets. My background includes customer-facing roles that reinforced my communication and stakeholder service skills.

I am self-motivated, adaptable, and oriented toward contributing positively to organizational goals by delivering accurate financial analysis and operational support. I work well independently and in teams, with proficiency in core office and accounting systems that support effective finance function delivery.
