What I'm looking for

I seek a finance/admin role in a mission-driven organization where I can ensure accurate, compliant financial operations, improve processes, and grow into broader accounting responsibilities.

I am a finance and administration professional with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting and hands-on experience across private and financial-sector organizations. I combine strong Microsoft Excel skills with disciplined ledger management to reconcile accounts daily and maintain audit-ready records.

At Blue Tigers Security Services Ltd I manage payroll for 70+ employees, streamlined petty cash processing to improve turnaround by 25%, and coordinate vendor invoicing and payments while safeguarding confidential financial data. Previously, as a Digital Ambassador at DFCU Bank, I drove a 20% increase in active digital users through client onboarding and training.

During my internship at Wazalendo SACCO Ltd I processed loan applications, reconciled accounts, maintained transaction files for audit, and assisted in monthly closings under supervision. I hold multiple QuickBooks Online Level 1 certifications (Expenses & Vendors; Sales & Customers; Getting Started) earned in May 2025.

I am known for spotting discrepancies early, proposing practical fixes, and thriving in collaborative, mission-driven environments where financial ethics, data integrity, and timely support to vendors and beneficiaries matter most.
