What I'm looking for

I am a dedicated finance and tax professional with over eight years of experience in government revenue administration and public service, holding an MBA and dual BAs in Accounting & Finance and Economics.

I have a proven track record in tax assessment, data verification, taxpayer services, trade registration, and administrative operations across multiple Addis Ababa revenue and administration offices, where I supported accurate revenue collection, fraud detection, and regulatory compliance.
