What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an accounting role where I can handle reconciliations, invoice and expense documentation, and internal controls confidently—supporting accurate financial processes and audit-ready compliance within a dynamic team.

As an Accounting graduate and current Account Officer at CSIR-Oil Palm Research Institute, I bring a detail-oriented approach grounded in financial principles, analysis, and accounting software proficiency. I’m known for strong communication, problem-solving, and staying accuracy-driven even under deadlines.

In my role, I evaluate and process procurement invoices, verify compliance and accuracy, and ensure completeness of expense documentation by checking attached receipts and maintaining invoice filing systems. I also support store management through physical inventory counts and step in for cashier duties—handling payment voucher preparation and cheque processing when needed.

I’ve further strengthened my audit-readiness through receipt-book auditing, daily cash book reconciliation, and bank reconciliation tasks during my National Service and internship at Maternal and Child Health Hospital. I’m eager to leverage this practical accounting foundation to contribute to a dynamic organization and advance my career within the accounting profession.
