I am writing to express my keen interest in the position in the country. With over 20 years of extensive experience in financial management, accounting, and audit functions, I am confident in my ability to contribute effectively to your team.
Currently, I serve as the Head of Finance & Accounts at IMAFER SA (Group of MMD Steel) in Bamako, Mali, where I oversee a wide range of finance-related responsibilities, including working capital management, preparation of management accounts, handling statutory audits, and implementing robust internal control processes. I am proficient in ERP systems such as SAP, Oracle and Navision, which aligns seamlessly with the technical requirements of this role. Additionally, I manage supplier payments, bank and vendor reconciliations, and statutory returns, including VAT and WHT filings.
I hold an MBA and am currently pursuing the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) qualification. My practical experience with financial systems, strong leadership abilities, and team management skills have allowed me to drive process improvements and enhance financial performance consistently throughout my career.
Moreover, being proficient in the French language has been a significant advantage in my current role in a Francophone country, enabling effective communication with local stakeholders, government authorities, and team members. I believe this linguistic ability will be an asset in the subject position as well.
Please find attached my resume for your kind consideration. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background and skills can benefit your organization.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the possibility of contributing to your team.
