What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead finance, budgeting, forecasting, reporting, controls, and operational improvement work where I can support sound decision-making, compliance, and sustainable organizational growth.

I've led budgeting, forecasting, donor reporting, cash-flow management, and financial controls at World Resources Institute, African Leadership Centre, and Asante Africa Foundation. I prepare management and Board reporting that helps leaders monitor performance, risks, and budget variances.

At GynaJ Accounting & Consultancy, I manage bookkeeping, month-end close, reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, payroll, 1099 compliance, and real estate financial analysis in QuickBooks and Bill.com.

Across more than 13 years in finance and operations, I've strengthened internal controls, implemented operational policies, supervised teams, supported audits, and trained finance staff. I bring CPA-K, an MBA in Finance, FMVA certification, and practical experience across cloud accounting and ERP systems.
