I control construction project costs, cash flow, compliance, and IFRS reporting.

I've led end-to-end civil engineering project accounting at Contell Africa Ltd since 2018, using Tally Prime ERP 7 to structure cost centers for project phases, plant machinery, subcontractors, and site overheads.

I track BOQ expenditure, certified works, IPCs, retentions, supplier reconciliations, and project-cost variances to surface duplicate charges and cost-overrun risks. I also produce IFRS-compliant management accounts, rolling cash-flow forecasts, and statutory submissions with zero penalties.

Previously, I managed public-sector finance and budgeting at the County Government of Nyamira under the PFM Act and supported audit work with reconciliations and voucher verification. I bring 14 years of progressive accounting experience and use Microsoft 365 Copilot, Google Gemini AI, and Dext Prepare to improve invoice capture, cash-flow modeling, and financial reporting.
