PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
Funmi is an innovative accounting professional with 12+ years of experience. She is a seasoned accountant with track records of dependability and reputation for integrity. I do challenge and improve existing processes and systems. 

I have successfully set up finance and account department of Companies, coordinated financial activities of several projects, managed budgets and treasury, secured credit line for operation and worked on strategic decisions that have positioned a loss making organisation to a revenue generating one within few months. I also ensure that the finance standards meet all corporate standards and that the finance team can deliver value for money, support timely management information and the key performance indicators of the organization. 

My continued objective among several is to ensure my KPIs are delivered in any organisation I work via dedication, commitment and integrity.
