What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities, a collaborative culture, and the chance to leverage my financial expertise to drive strategic initiatives.

I am an experienced finance professional with a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Finance and a Diploma in Business Management from the University of Nairobi. Currently, I am pursuing my Certified Investment and Financial Analyst certification. My career has been marked by significant achievements, including reducing tax liabilities by 25% through effective tax planning and automating financial reporting processes, which improved accuracy and reduced reporting time by 40%.

In my role as Finance and Operations Officer at MynimeAfrica Ltd, I have successfully implemented strategies that enhanced operational efficiency and fostered strong stakeholder relationships. I have a proven track record of optimizing inventory management, which led to a 15% improvement in order fulfillment efficiency, and my financial insights contributed to doubling monthly customer acquisition. I am committed to continuous professional development and staying abreast of industry trends to deliver the best results.
