Oluwafemi Oluwaniran

Application for employment: Chief Financial Officer.

I hereby apply for the above-named position in the organization.

I started my professional career as a Customer Experience Officer (C.E.O.) at Standard Chartered Bank in July 2008 before proceeding to work in the audit division of a highly rated multidisciplinary professional services firm - KPMG Professional Services where I acquired world - class accounting and auditing experience. In KPMG, we specialise in the provision of global accounting and auditing services to local and foreign based clients.

Working with KPMG Audit (Energy & Natural Resources Unit) helped me further develop as well as sharpen my computer skills, analytical skills, communication and interpersonal skills, numerical reasoning skills as well as my accounting and auditing skills, all which has gone a long way in adding intrinsic and extrinsic corporate value to the business. In addition, the acquired experience has helped me broaden my international outlook while benchmarking global best practices in the professional services industry, all of which I intend to bring along to the business in the course of my career growth and development in the company.

I am applying for a position with you because I have worked in senior level capacity in Subsea7 where I developed the excel templates for gathering information from departmental managers on the items they intend to include in their annual budgets. Similarly, having done a lot of work with experts in accounting, auditing and financial matters in KPMG, coupled with my background in a numerate discipline, as well as my flair for numerate tasks and my familiarity with numbers, I would be adding more value in more ways than the average applicant would. In addition, I have proficiency certificates in the use of ERP software such as SAP, Sage Pastel Evolution and other business – oriented software such as advanced microsoft excel. I also have a master class certificate in project management professional (PMP) training as well as a proficiency certificate in the knowledge & application of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

I have worked both as an auditor and as an accounts / finance person, and I am currently working in Eastern Plains Integrated Farms Limited (EPIFL) as the Chief Financial Officer. I have also worked previously as the Country Cost Controller at a multinational energy / oil & gas company, having previously worked in the manufacturing / fmcg Industry as a Plant Financial Controller, and in KPMG as an External Auditor, so I strongly believe that I am able to deliver world - class results as expected of a true ambassador of the accounting profession.

Please find enclosed herewith, a soft copy of my updated resume for your consideration.

Please do feel free to put a call through (or even an e – mail, if you prefer) anytime if you need to seek any clarifications, or if further explanations, details and / or information would be needed / required. I would be very delighted to hear from you.

Thanking you in anticipation of your favourable response.

Best regards,

OLUWANIRAN, Oluwafemi.
