What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that challenge me and allow for professional growth in finance and taxation.

I am an achievement-driven professional with a strong interest in Finance, Investment, Taxation, Business, and Advisory sectors. My educational background includes a Postgraduate Diploma in Customs Administration and a Bachelor of Commerce, which have equipped me with a solid foundation in financial and statistical analysis.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience as an Accounts Associate and Block Management Systems Officer, where I demonstrated my ability to balance cash accounts, conduct desk audits, and prepare tax liability statements. My contributions have been recognized, as I was part of the highest revenue-generating unit at the Kenya Revenue Authority.

I am eager to take on new challenges and gather invaluable experiences that will further enhance my skills in finance and taxation. I thrive in dynamic environments and am committed to delivering timely and accurate results.
