What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and values collaboration.

I am a detail-oriented finance professional with a strong foundation in accounting, financial reporting, budgeting, and data analysis. My proficiency in tools like QuickBooks and MS Excel allows me to optimize financial processes and ensure accuracy in all financial dealings. I have a proven ability to leverage technology to drive efficiency and support strategic decision-making, which has been instrumental in my previous roles.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with cross-functional teams to implement process improvements that enhance financial performance. My experience as an Accounts Assistant at the University of Nairobi has honed my skills in managing budget allocations and ensuring compliance with financial regulations. I have also developed financial reports and conducted variance analysis to identify discrepancies, which has significantly contributed to informed decision-making within the organizations I have worked for.

My journey in finance began with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance from Maseno University, where I gained a solid understanding of financial management principles. I am passionate about continuous learning and am always seeking opportunities to further develop my skills and contribute to the financial success of my future employer.
