What I'm looking for

Looking to leverage my skills in a remote financial leadership role to drive organizational growth and efficiency.

As a seasoned financial professional with over 12 years of experience, I have developed a strong track record in managing financial operations, including cash flow management, budget preparation, and financial reporting. My expertise in implementing risk management frameworks and enhancing cost control management has ensured regulatory compliance across multiple sectors. I am a results-driven leader who has successfully led teams to optimize internal audit processes, resulting in a reduction in audit completion time.

In my current role as Chief Financial Officer at Anvil Group of Companies, I have managed a balance sheet of over 3.5 billion Ksh, ensuring the robustness of financial management systems and data accuracy across the group. I have also improved cash flow management by optimizing available facilities, resulting in a 15% reduction in liquidity risk across the group.

I am a certified public accountant with a Master's in Tax and Customs Administration and a Bachelor of Commerce in Finance. I am also an ISO 27001 Lead Auditor and have undergone training in Enterprise Risk Management. I am a member of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Institute of Internal Auditors.
