What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that offers growth opportunities and values innovation in financial practices.

I am a results-driven Senior Accountant with over 10 years of experience in financial management, auditing, and compliance. My expertise lies in optimizing financial processes, ensuring regulatory adherence, and leading cross-functional teams. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting and an Associate Degree in Community Development & Leadership, with international equivalency certification. Currently, I am pursuing an MSc in Accounting & Finance, focusing my research on the impact of digitalization in tax administration.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed financial statements, tax filings, and budget forecasts, ensuring compliance with international accounting standards. At Horn Investments, I conducted internal audits that minimized financial risks by 20% and supervised accounting teams, enhancing overall efficiency. My previous roles have equipped me with strong skills in financial analysis, reporting, and compliance, making me a valuable asset to any organization.
