What I'm looking for

I seek a role managing payroll and office finance where I can improve processes, ensure compliance, and contribute to cost efficiencies in a collaborative environment.

I am an experienced payroll accountant and office manager with over a decade of experience in office administration, financial management, budgeting, and payroll administration. I specialize in optimizing financial processes, improving productivity, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.

At Rift Valley Academy I ensure accurate, timely payroll processing including deductions, benefits, statutory compliance, reconciliations, and handling employee inquiries. I also manage petty cash, accounts payable preparations, leave records, and support internal audits to maintain adherence to company policies and tax law changes.

Earlier roles included procurement support where I processed purchase requisitions, communicated with vendors, tracked purchase orders, monitored inventory, and maintained procurement documentation. I implemented digital filing and organizational strategies that improved operational efficiency and retrieval times.

I have a Bachelor of Commerce (Finance option) and CPA K coursework, advanced proficiency in QuickBooks and Excel, and a track record of reducing payroll processing time and recovering unnecessary payments to drive cost savings. I am professional, detail-oriented, and committed to accurate financial stewardship.
