About

Professional summary

I am a finance professional with international experience across the US, UK, Africa, and South America. I am skilled in financial reporting, budgeting, audits, and strategic advisory, with proven success in managing teams, improving financial controls, and driving cost efficiencies. I am adaptable and resilient, with hands-on experience in hyper-inflationary and high-growth markets. Currently, I am pursuing full ACCA qualification, which complements my strong analytical and leadership skills suited to senior finance roles.

Throughout my career, I have managed full month-end closes and prepared financial statements, reviewed the work of junior and staff accountants, and handled payroll, fixed asset management, and depreciation schedules. I have prepared and monitored monthly budgets to support business decision-making and directed budgeting, cash flow, and financial controls for multinational franchises.

I have developed financial strategies that reduce risk and improve profitability, implemented cost reduction initiatives to enhance operational efficiency, and led audits for major corporates, ensuring compliance and delivering audit findings to management. My audit experience includes working with international banks and conducting UN micro-assessments for donor funding accountability.

My education includes an MSc in Business Analytics Consultancy from Loughborough University and a BSc (Hons) in Accounting & Finance from Swansea University, where I graduated with an Upper Second-Class degree. I also hold the ACCA Diploma in Accounting and Business (RQF Level 4) and have attained several ACCA exemptions.

I am passionate about continuous learning and development, and I bring a strong commitment to excellence in all aspects of financial management. Outside of work, I enjoy playing football, travelling, and engaging in various sports such as rugby, tennis, golf, cricket, and hunting.
