What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead finance operations, financial planning, controls, reporting, and ERP-driven process improvements across multi-country or international organizations.

I've led finance operations across East Africa for ViyaHealth Enterprise, supporting profitability, business growth, budgeting, forecasting, cash flow analysis, and financial performance.

As Staff Accountant – Global at ViyaHealth Foundation, I oversee end-to-end accounting across payables, receivables, inventory, general ledger, banking, and financial reporting. I also coordinate audits and strengthen AP, AR, cash management, and inventory controls.

At Habib Oil, Vivo Energy, and Smart Telecom East Africa, I prepared financial statements and budgets, reinforced internal controls and audit compliance, and managed fixed assets, treasury, and receivables.

I've supported ERP implementations including JD Edwards to SAP and SUNSYSTEMS across Uganda, Burundi, and Tanzania, using data cleansing, reconciliations, user training, and reporting tools to improve visibility and process efficiency.
