What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an opportunity to apply my finance and accounting skills, contribute to business success, and develop professionally—expanding my expertise in reconciliations, accounts payable, and tax compliance while advancing my career.

I’m an ACCA Level II finalist and accounting graduate focused on applying finance and accounting skills to support business success while building my professional capability. I bring strong accuracy in bank and supplier reconciliations, accounts payable and invoice processing, and tax compliance, supported by practical experience across major accounting systems.

In my recent roles, I processed supplier invoices, credit notes, and payments, supported VAT compliance checks, and validated KRA electronic tax invoices. I’ve worked with SAP S/4HANA, QuickBooks, and Excel to maintain audit-ready financial records, reconcile supplier accounts, and support documentation quality, including LPOs and GRNs.
