About
A detail-oriented and dynamic finance professional with experience across banking, investment management, operational finance, and external audit. Currently serving as a Financial and Fund Accountant within the investment management sector at Mergence Unlisted Investment Managers (MUIM), where I support fund accounting, financial reporting, reconciliations, cash flow management, investor reporting, and financial control processes across private market investment structures and associated entities. Previously, I served within the Retail Lending Finance function at First National Bank Namibia, where I was responsible for the financial management and analysis of secured and unsecured retail lending portfolios, including vehicle finance (WesBank), home loans, credit cards, and overdrafts. My responsibilities included portfolio financial analysis, balance sheet management, reconciliations, regulatory reporting, VAT compliance, payment approvals, and supporting strategic financial decision-making within a highly regulated banking environment. Prior to transitioning into banking, I completed over three years of external audit training and professional experience at KPMG Namibia, working with clients across industries including banking, mining, manufacturing, logistics, financial services, pension funds, insurance, asset management, retail, and donor-funded entities. This exposure provided me with a strong technical foundation in IFRS, internal controls, governance, risk management, taxation, and financial reporting. I am a solution-oriented and analytical finance professional with the ability to manage multiple priorities while delivering accurate, high-quality work in fast-paced environments. My strong attention to detail, commercial mindset, and commitment to integrity position me well to contribute meaningful financial insight, operational efficiency, and sound decision-making support within dynamic organizations.
