Business Manager: James Besong

James leads and implements business and financial strategies that involve budget development and management, and he is now in his 8th year at ASOY. With an extensive career and a successful track record in business and finance, James sustains ASOY's business work by developing and maintaining account systems, tax reviews, risk analyses, and audit controls. James was a timely recruit in sourcing adequate financing and managing, to budget the construction of the major phases of our ASOY Campus Master plan. While at ASOY, James offered pioneer financial consultancy to the American International School of Brazzaville (AISB) in 2013 to help this new school with the hurdles of new startups.

He brings over two decades of experience in finance, audit, contract, operations, and project management working with international establishments. Before joining ASOY, James worked for the American School of Douala(ASD), still as a business manager, where he created and implemented financial strategies that limit risks and maximize budget development and management, which paid off in the building of an entirely new school. Before joining the schools, James was a corporate world person working with SAKON Cameroon as a country accountant, where he successfully provided cost-saving project management procedures in this company with huge IT projects worth millions of dollars.

James holds an MBA in Cost and Financial Management from the Central University of Nicaragua and a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from the University of Buea. He is equally a Certified Positive Discipline In the Workplace Consultant (CPDWPC)

and a member of this US-based body.

James treasures writing, reading investigative content, and watching soccer, if not developing dynamic account systems.
