What I'm looking for

I want to join a leading audit or accounting team where I can apply my CPA foundation, support accurate reporting and compliance, and grow toward becoming a fully qualified CPA—while working with strong ethical standards and meeting tight deadlines.

I’m a motivated CPA student who has successfully completed CPA section 4, with strong analytical and accounting skills. I’m eager to apply my technical training and professional work ethic to support high-quality client services.

In my recent role as a Junior accountant at NGCDF Changamwe, I handled bookkeeping & data entry by recording daily transactions into the general ledger. I also processed accounts payable invoices, supported balance sheets, income statements (P&L), and cash flow statements, and assisted with tax compliance and audit preparation.

Before that, at Abzameta Logistics, I strengthened my detail-oriented, compliance-focused mindset through clearing and forwarding. I prepared trade documents, performed HS code tariff classification, filed customs entries through electronic customs systems, calculated duties and taxes (customs duties, VAT, excise), and advised clients on Incoterms and trade agreements while ensuring risk management for shipments, including DG (Dangerous Goods).
