RE: APPLICATION FOR THE POSITION OF CHIEF ACCOUNTANT.

In response to the job advertisement on www.lifeinafrica.com/jobs posted on Wednesday March 26 2008, I am a Ugandan aged 29 years and I have graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Finance from Kyambogo University. I would like to take up the position of Chief Accountant because I have the required competencies, relevant experience proficiency in online activities and willingness to do the job. Currently I am working as the Business Manager Nile Computers Limited Mbale Branch I did my internship with World Vision Uganda in the Accounting and Finance Department. I am a born again Christian with excellent communication, analytical and interpersonal skills with proficiency in Computer applications and Accounting soft wares, ability to work under minimum supervision. Above all I am a team player who is self motivated and results oriented.

I have enough experience in maintaining financial records, I can develop, implement, maintain and monitor accounting procedures for microfinance funding, loan programs and recovery activities since I carried out my research with Uganda Microfinance Limited, I can effectively compile and submit the monthly and annual reports to Life in Africa management USA and all the donors promptly since I have done that before, ability to monitor and record all local and international banking activities as I have ever done with a donor funded organization (World Vision Uganda) I can effectively and efficiently assist in development and maintenance of program budgets and program accounting systems at Life in Africa supported CBOs, I can provide capacity building, advice and training to Life in Africa program management staff on developing sound accounting principles and reporting procedures.

The work I have done in the past have made a positive impact in the lives of others in that I always like to encourage the disadvantaged and work hard to help them. Therefore, many people who did not have hope have now started to think positively about their lives and the evidence is that, people I have ever worked with never want me to leave their organizations the clients, management and staff inclusive. Another tangible evidence to prove my resilience and commitment towards what I do is that I have a number of recommendation letters and certificates of merit for the work I have done which I can produce to the interviewers who will be on the panel.
