At Catholic Relief Services -Kenya, I consolidate annual operating plan inputs and analyze budget performance against forecasts. I also prepare financial reports and recommendations to support senior management and strategic planning.

At Christian Mission for Development, I led an ERP migration from a local financial system to QuickBooks and supervised a finance team of 10+. I also coordinated budgets, reporting, and audit processes.

At Amani Counselling Centre and Training Institute, I streamlined financial reporting, reducing monthly closing time by 25% and improving accuracy by 20%. Earlier, as Senior Accountant at Imani Marianist, I supported audit follow-up and financial statement preparation.
