Summary

With a Bachelor's Degree in Accountancy from the Institute of Accountancy Arusha (IAA), I have gained valuable knowledge in the field of accounts and finance. Throughout my one year of work experience, I had the opportunity to participate in fieldwork and internships with organizations such as SIDO, Tanzania Agricultural Research Institute (TARI), and Tanzania Farmers Association (TFA). During these experiences, I successfully performed various duties in accounts and finance, including bank reconciliations, reviewing and processing monthly expense reports, and handling special cash receipts. Before joining the IAA, I pursued advanced secondary studies at Marangu Secondary School, where I excelled in subjects like Advanced Mathematics, Economics, and Geography (EGM). With a strong interest and passion for executing accounts and finance assignments, my goal is to further develop my career by pursuing professional courses such as CPA to become a competent manager in the field of accounts.

Finance professional with comprehensive background in accounting, ready to contribute to financial management and reporting. Known for accuracy in financial record-keeping and proficiency in auditing and tax preparation. Reliable team collaborator with focus on achieving financial accuracy and supporting dynamic business needs through analytical problem-solving and effective communication.
