What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can strengthen financial controls, support donor-compliant reporting, and contribute to transparent, accountable management.

I am an experienced finance and accounting professional with over 20 years managing financial operations across NGOs, conservation, renewable energy, private sector and faith-based organisations. I deliver budgeting, financial reporting, audit preparation and payroll with a strong commitment to accountability and ethical stewardship.

My career highlights include long-term finance leadership at Uganda Wildlife Safaris, finance and administration management at Solar Energy Uganda Ltd, and current accounting responsibilities at Arena of Grace Ministries. I have implemented robust financial controls, supported donor compliance, and guided management with financial planning and cost control.

I hold a Master of Financial Management Studies and a Postgraduate Diploma in Financial Management, and I am skilled in Sage accounting systems, Microsoft Excel, SPSS and other office applications. I bring reliability, transparency and practical experience to organisations seeking strengthened financial governance.
