What I'm looking for

I seek an accounting role emphasizing payroll, tax compliance and financial reporting within a collaborative team that supports professional growth and CPA progression, and values efficient, technology-driven processes.

I am an accounting professional with a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) and CPA studies in progress, focused on accurate ledger management, payroll, VAT and statutory compliance. I currently support monthly payroll for 120+ employees, process VAT and withholding obligations, perform bank and inventory reconciliations, and assist with year-end accounts and audits.

I combine hands-on accounting skills with e-commerce and digital marketing experience, having managed online sales channels and grown social followings. I hold certifications in QuickBooks and Excel, use AI and productivity tools to improve processes, and I thrive on delivering timely, compliant financial reporting.
