What I'm looking for

I'm seeking to leverage my financial acumen and data intelligence to drive efficiency and strategic growth in a dynamic financial role.

At State Department of TVET, I instruct advanced practitioners in financial accounting, general ledger maintenance, bank reconciliations, and financial reporting. I use QuickBooks and SQL exercises to teach ledger verification and lead practical modules in financial modeling and forecasting.

As a Finance and Accounts Assistant Intern at SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONES AUTHORITY OF KENYA, I developed a zero-based budgeting framework and supported accounts payable and receivable processes. Earlier, as a Finance and Economic Planning Intern at NAIROBI COUNTY GOVERNMENT, I worked on invoicing, revenue management, bank reconciliation, and financial reporting.
