Kenya

Message

At TENDER FOOT SCHOOL, I manage general ledger entries and streamline payroll processes for administrative financial operations. I also record and reconcile accounts payable and receivable, including restricted funds and tuition-based grant tracking.

I use QuickBooks Online and Excel for monthly bank reconciliations and journal entries, and prepare financial reports to support audits and GAAP compliance.

Earlier, as Accounts Assistant -Payroll and Debtors Section at KENYA POST OFFICE SAVINGS BANK, I reconciled payroll accounts and updated the general ledger. I also improved Excel workflows, reducing reporting time by 15%.
