Ruth Blessing Matthew

I am a highly skilled Finance and Administrative Professional with over five years of hands-on experience in accounting, financial management, and operational support within mission-driven organizations. I specialize in financial reporting, budgeting, bank and cash reconciliation, donor and grant reporting, internal controls, and audit preparation.

I have extensive experience preparing and maintaining accurate financial records in compliance with GAAP and organizational policies. My daily responsibilities have included processing payment vouchers, invoices, purchase orders, receipts, and journal entries using QuickBooks, as well as conducting monthly bank and cash reconciliations to ensure the accuracy and integrity of financial statements.

Beyond routine accounting tasks, I actively monitor budget utilization, support financial forecasting for programs, and prepare detailed monthly and quarterly financial reports for management and donors. I am highly proficient in Microsoft Excel (including financial modeling, data analysis, and reporting templates), and I use data-driven insights to improve decision-making and financial transparency.

I have successfully strengthened internal control systems and improved documentation processes, contributing to measurable improvements in compliance and audit readiness. My work has also involved cross-functional collaboration with program and operations teams to ensure proper cost allocation, accurate reporting, and efficient fund utilization.

In addition to finance, I bring strong administrative and operational experience, including stakeholder communication, record management, report writing, and process improvement. I am organized, detail-oriented, and committed to delivering accurate, timely, and high-quality financial support that helps organizations grow sustainably.

If you are looking for a dependable finance professional who combines technical expertise with strategic thinking and efficiency, I bring both precision and proactive problem-solving to every project.
