Esnart Mbewe
Summary
I am a diligent and results-driven professional with a bachelor's degree in accounting and two years of hands-on experience in finance and audit roles. Proven expertise gained through roles at BCP, a conservation company, where I served as an internal auditor, ensuring compliance and identifying areas for process improvement. Prior to that, I honed my skills as a Finance and Admin Intern at Digital Paygo, a fintech firm, where I gained valuable insights into financial operations and administrative functions. Possessing a keen eye for detail, strong analytical skills, and a commitment to accuracy, I am adept at conducting thorough audits, mitigating risks, and implementing robust financial controls. With a track record of delivering high-quality work within tight deadlines, I am well-equipped to excel in any finance or audit role, contributing effectively to organizational success.
