Accomplishments

In my current role as General Ledger Supervisor at System One, I’ve successfully led a team of GL accountants across 5 business units, ensuring 100% on-time month-end and year-end closing. I implemented new reconciliation workflows that reduced balance discrepancies by 40% and shortened the monthly close cycle by 2 days. I also played a key role in ensuring full IFRS compliance during internal and external audits, achieving zero major findings.

Additionally, I recently passed the ACCA Diploma in International Financial Reporting (DipIFRS), which reflects my commitment to technical excellence. I’m a highly ambitious and self-driven professional who constantly seeks improvement through learning, development, and staying current with global accounting standards.
