What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role focused on accurate reporting, strong internal controls, collaborative teams, clear career growth, and opportunities to improve processes and compliance.

I am a detail-oriented finance and administration professional with over four years of progressive experience across hospitality and administrative settings, focused on financial management, reporting, and compliance.

I have a proven track record in accounts receivable, reconciliations, payroll and petty cash management, ERP systems (Opera, QuickBooks, SAP, SunSystem, IFMIS), and preparing statutory filings such as VAT and withholding tax, which improved billing accuracy and audit readiness.

I am motivated by ethics, teamwork and operational efficiency, and I consistently strengthen internal controls, accelerate collections, and improve documentation to support transparent, timely financial operations.
