Michelle Kamwendo

·        I have more than 5 years’ experience as an accounting professional which has enabled me to develop considerable ease with many standard tasks, including knowledge of the various systems and online platforms that are used in executing crucial financial tasks. In several of my previous jobs, I have been responsible for facilitating payment and liquidation of advances and maintaining physical and electronic files for vouchers.

·        I am a self-starter, and I can work competently with minimal supervision. Furthermore, I am an ambitious professional with documented problem-solving skills and who pays strong attention to details. I possess exceptional communication skills which contribute to my effective working relationships and teamwork. I believe these are all important for maintaining a professional work environment. 

·        I have practical know-how of data entry combined with real-world experience of this field. For instance, in one of my previous positions, I re-entered data and accurately recreated records, following the loss of critical information covering a period of two years which would have affected the operations of the company. I extracted information from physical payment vouchers and tabulated the data in Sage accounting software and assigned a code for every transaction to reproduce final balances. This helped the company to retrieve the lost information which was essential in preparing for auditing.

·        I consider myself a tech savvy individual, and a quick study in terms of learning new systems. I am proficient with Microsoft Office, as well as Sage 50 accounting software and QuickBooks Online, and I make use of a number of online collaboration and tracking tools, such as Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom and Dropbox, that facilitate efficiency and ease of workflow.

I greatly value working in a professional atmosphere with individuals who are knowledgeable and committed to their work. I am a great team player and I greatly value constructive criticism.
