Olusegun Lawal

I am a chartered accountant, Chartered Tax practitioner and a certified management expert in Nigeria. I am also an SAP certified FI consultant having SAP implementation, roll out and functional support experiences.

I am currently preparing to write the final and last five papers that will lead to my certification as an ACCA holder. This will be sorted out before the end of 2023.

I currently work with Rehovot Accountants (UK) as a principal practice accountant and  my major role is to  support the Managing partner in overseeing the practice and running the business in the UK. Prior to this I worked with other companies in the telecoms, ICT and Finance sectors in Nigeria.

I worked with SIAO Partners (Chartered Accountants), one of the leading accounting firms in Nigeria. I was employed as Audit senior but was later moved and designated as audit manager. The firm exposed me to audit and accounting practice in its real sense as I was actively involved in the discharge of audit, tax, due diligence and other allied matters of engagement.

My subsequent appointment as financial operations manager in two other companies helped to consolidate the above mentioned audit and accounting exposure. Ensuring prompt filing of annual tax returns and the timely preparation of the company`s yearend accounts were part of my main duties while I was in the industry. 

I also have some exposure in the handling of treasury functions, cash planning and monthly bank reconciliation exercises. I am proficient in using Peachtree accounting software and SAP ERP.

I possess strong interpersonal skills, excellent team spirit, pays attention to details, deep analytical skills, effective communication skills, and have ability to work under pressure. I equally have ability to use initiatives at solving problems, multitasking spirit and above all huge a drive for success. My IELTS Score some years back was 6.0 overall and proficiency in the language has further improved over the years.

My management skills and proficiency in the use of numerous computer applications will also be an asset to your organization if I am employed.

Looking forward to a favorable response.

Thank you.
