What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role in a collaborative, growth-oriented company where I can manage accounts, reconciliations, payroll and support operations while developing my CPA and technical skills.

I am a motivated finance and accounts professional with two years of hands-on experience across transport, logistics, petroleum and cold storage industries. I manage bookkeeping, reconciliations, accounts payable/receivable, payroll and monthly management accounts with strong attention to detail.

My background includes roles as General Accountant, Operations Clerk and Accounts Assistant Intern where I performed bank reconciliations, revenue analysis, supplier ledger reconciliations, statutory filings and warehouse stock movement reconciliations. I have worked with ERP systems including Microsoft Dynamics and QuickBooks Online and supported operations through logistics coordination, gate pass and delivery document processing.

I hold a Bachelor in Business Administration with IT (Finance) and am progressing through Certified Public Accountant Kenya Part 2, and I am a Certified QuickBooks Online Pro Advisor. I bring strong communication, organizational and analytical skills and a collaborative, growth-oriented work ethic.
