Certified Public Accountant with 8+ years in financial reporting and statutory compliance.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Certified Public Accountant with over eight years' experience delivering accurate financial reporting, payroll processing, bank reconciliations and statutory compliance for law firms and corporate clients. I have a strong track record of improving processes—reducing operational expenses, clearing audit backlogs, and improving receivables collection—to support timely decision-making.
I excel using QuickBooks, Sage, Abacus, Zoho Books and advanced MS Excel to maintain ledgers, manage cash flow and prepare statutory returns (PAYE, NHIF, NSSF, VAT). I am detail-oriented, reliable, and eager to apply my accounting, budgeting and internal-control expertise to drive financial discipline and operational efficiency in the hospitality sector.
