Chizara in a few words
I enjoy telling stories with numbers. As an accountant with over a decade experience in accounting and auditing, I know that proper record keeping and documentation in line with relevant accounting standards is essential to the growth of businesses and mitigation of fraudulent practices.
I am skilled in accounting and providing advisory for the proper application of accounting standards- IFRS and UK GAAP.
I have worked on projects across the the FMCG, retail and real estate sectors providing accounting services, GAAP Transition services and guidance on the application of technical accounting standards.
