Senior Accountant

I oversee day-to-day accounting operations and ensure financial transactions are recorded accurately, completely, and on time in accordance with accounting standards, internal policies, and regulatory requirements. I prepare and review monthly financial reports, management accounts, and financial schedules to support decision-making.

I manage accounts payable and receivable, banking and treasury activities, cash-flow forecasting, vendor onboarding, supplier documentation, general-ledger reconciliations, and closing activities. I also coordinate internal and external audits, maintain financial controls, and support annual budgeting, forecasting, and budget-versus-actual variance analysis.

I managed accounting operations across multiple entities, ensuring compliance with IFRS and local regulatory requirements. My responsibilities included fiscalising invoices, preparing purchase orders, credit notes, OPVs, and other transaction documents, and supporting timely vendor and customer settlements.

I prepared tax returns and statutory deductions including PAYE, SDL, NSSF, WCF, WHT, VAT, CSL, and corporate tax. I acted as a liaison with TRA, external auditors, regulatory bodies, and stakeholders, performed reconciliations and cash-flow monitoring, maintained the fixed asset register, and used SAP Business One and Freshdesk to improve accounting operations and reporting.

I maintained and reconciled accounts payable, accounts receivable, and cash ledgers to support accurate financial records. I assisted with trial-balance preparation and monthly profit-and-loss analysis.

I worked with Tally and QuickBooks to support financial reporting activities. I also gained exposure to research and financial analysis within natural-resource projects.

I managed loan repayment tracking, bad-debt accounting, and overdue-account monitoring within a microfinance environment. I monitored customer accounts and supported compliance with microfinance regulations.

I reconciled daily cash collections and ensured accuracy between physical records and system records. I also communicated directly with clients to follow up on outstanding debts.
