What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance role where I can own month-end close, reconciliations, and statutory compliance, work closely with auditors and stakeholders, and grow within a controls-focused, deadline-driven team.

I’m a Detail-oriented Finance and Accounts Assistant with over five years of experience supporting financial operations, including cashbook management, bank and mobile money reconciliations, petty cash administration, and statutory compliance. At Nampak Kenya Limited, I prepare daily and monthly cashbook and bank reconciliations, manage the petty cash float (including cash and mpesa), and keep debtor accounts updated—preparing debtors ageing reports and improving debt collection efficiency by 30% through proactive follow ups.

I also handle VAT and WHT reporting, ensuring the company ledger agrees with the KRA ledger, and assist with statutory deductions such as NSSF, PAYE, SHIF, and Housing Levy for timely remittance. During month end, I prepare and capture journals, perform general ledger reconciliations, support payroll processing, and provide cash flow forecasts; I’ve also supported annual and internal audits and acted as a backup for accounts payable with three-way matching and supplier aging reviews.
