What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers growth opportunities in accounting and finance, within a supportive team environment.

I am a recent graduate with a BSc in Accounting from The University of the West Indies, where I achieved Upper Second-Class Honors. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in financial and management accounting, taxation, and advanced auditing. I have a keen interest in government accounting and quantitative methods, which I believe are crucial for effective financial management.

Throughout my professional experience, I have honed my skills in data management and administrative support. As an Independent Contractor at the Financial Services Commission, I ensured the accuracy and organization of documents while managing asset inventories and supporting senior accounting staff. My role as an Administrative Assistant at the Barbados Revenue Authority further developed my abilities in tax administration and cash receipting services, allowing me to contribute effectively to various financial processes.
