Kasamba Matekenya

I am a highly motivated individual with general administrative and accounting experience in the Banking and Hospitality industries, currently looking to resume my professional career after dedicating the last four years to raising a family and studying. My career focus has since shifted to accounting and finance, having developed a keen interest in it during my Hotel Management studies. I am a recent Sustainable Performance Management Graduate with a First-Class Honours Degree from the Manchester Metropolitan University, the entry pre-requisite for which was an Advanced Diploma in Management Accounting from the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA). I am interested in a position to develop my sustainability accounting skills and knowledge in a practical and fast-paced environment. My career goal is to assume a meaningful role that provides me with the necessary experience to become an Associate Chartered Management Accountant and allows the development of my sustainability interests and contributions within a well-respected and sustainable organisation.
