What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an accounting role where I can own AP/AR processing, reconciliations, VAT schedules, and accurate financial reporting using SAP ERP and Excel, within a compliance-focused team.

I’m a detail-oriented Accounts Assistant with experience in accounting, procurement, revenue administration, and inventory management. I bring strong accuracy and compliance habits to supplier invoice processing, reconciliations, and financial reporting.

In my current role, I process supplier invoices, payment vouchers, and receipts while verifying supporting documents before processing. I manage Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable transactions, prepare VAT schedules and financial reports, and liaise with suppliers to resolve invoice discrepancies.

Previously, as a Revenue Officer / Customer Care Officer at Nairobi City County, I handled customer account creation and billing processes, processed payments, and resolved customer account and billing queries. I also assisted with county license renewals and new applications and trained users on the Nairobi Pay system.

My experience also spans inventory and finance support, including stock counts, inventory reconciliations, and audit support documentation. I’m a Certified Public Accountant (CPA-K) finalist, and I’m proficient in SAP ERP, Anchor ERP, and Microsoft Excel, with a consistent focus on clean records and reliable financial controls.
