What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance role where I can own financial operations and reporting, strengthen compliance, and drive automation and forecasting that improves cash flow, working capital, and decision-making.

I’m a results-driven finance lead with a proven track record in financial management, cost accounting, and financial reporting. I oversee day-to-day financial operations—including accounts payable/receivable, payroll, and general ledger accounting—while preparing financial statements, management reports, and bank reconciliations with full explanations for all reconciling items.

I also lead strategic improvements that protect working capital and strengthen compliance. I spearheaded the migration of Century Bank transactions after acquisition, secured a favorable tax outcome in a KRA dispute saving KES 248 million, and implemented automation through systems like Tipalti to streamline invoice processing and reduce manual errors—while aligning internal controls, forecasting, and reconciliations for faster, accurate month-close.
