What I'm looking for

I seek a senior finance role where I can lead audit and reporting functions, improve controls, mentor teams, leverage IFRS expertise, and drive measurable financial performance in a collaborative, growth-focused organisation.

I am an ACCA-qualified finance and audit leader with over 10 years of experience delivering financial reporting, compliance, and audit services across diverse sectors. I focus on turning financial data into strategic insights for senior management.

At MGK Associates I led a portfolio of 25+ clients, delivering audits on time and improving review turnaround by 15%. I champion process innovation, piloting tech solutions that increased documentation accuracy by 20% and reduced manual review hours by 30%.

I mentor and develop finance teams, having coached 10+ audit staff with multiple promotions and a 25% rise in team efficiency. I also oversee billing and collections, achieving 95% collection efficiency on audit assignments totaling over KES30M annually.

I bring proven strengths in IFRS compliance, financial modelling and valuation, statutory and tax compliance, and stakeholder engagement, and I am passionate about improving controls, governance, and financial performance.
