What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can lead accounting operations, strengthen controls, implement digital tools, ensure compliance, mentor staff, and contribute to transparent, sustainable financial management.

I am a results-driven Senior Accountant with over 10 years of progressive experience across private, NGO, and investment sectors, holding an MSc in Accounting and Finance and WES-certified undergraduate credentials.

I specialize in financial management, auditing, tax compliance, budgeting, and internal control systems, and I have a strong track record of streamlining financial reporting processes and ensuring 100% tax compliance.

I have led teams, supervised and trained junior staff, implemented digital accounting solutions (QuickBooks, Peachtree, Advanced Excel), and strengthened internal audit systems to reduce discrepancies and improve transparency.

I am committed to delivering excellence in financial governance, audit management, and operational efficiency to drive sustainable organizational success and am willing to relocate immediately as required.
