What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance role where I can own month-end reporting, accounts payable/receivable, and tax compliance, while strengthening internal controls and audit readiness—and I want room to grow into senior finance responsibility.

I’m an Accounting & Financial Management specialist with over 4 years of experience in fast-paced corporate environments, focused on robust financial controls, accurate reporting, and full compliance with IPSAS, IAS, IFRS, GAAP, and internal regulations. I’m results-driven and known for tightening financial workflows to improve decision-ready data.

In my recent role, I support end-to-end accounting operations—from budgeting, financial forecasting, and cash flow projections to monthly closures and general ledger reconciliation. I manage accounts payable and receivable lifecycles, including E-TIMS invoice validation, supplier reconciliations, RTGS payments, ETR-compliant invoicing, receipt posting, customer statement reconciliation, aging follow-ups, and weekly bank and Mpesa reconciliations.

I also strengthen compliance and audit readiness through timely VAT/WH VAT/WH TAX filings, audit-ready documentation, and statutory payroll processing for 80+ employees (NSSF, NHIF, PAYE, FBT). I’ve streamlined reconciliation processes, improved inventory accuracy through physical stock counts, and enhanced internal filing systems—reducing discrepancies and cutting audit preparation time while supporting stronger cash flow and organizational efficiency.
