What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead accounting and financial management in a dynamic environment where I can strengthen controls, deliver actionable reporting, improve profitability, and support data-informed business decisions.

I've led full-cycle accounting, reporting, budgeting, treasury, payroll, and statutory compliance for businesses including Agriline Kenya Limited, Netronics Communications Limited, and Solvo Global's U.S. clients.

At Agriline Kenya, I managed finance for a KES 70 million agri-tech business and introduced zero-based budgeting, increasing ROI on operational expenditure by 10%. At Netronics, I helped increase profitability by 20%, reduced FX exposure by 25%, and improved reporting accuracy by 40% through ERP integration and automation.

I bring hands-on experience in IFRS, IPSAS, GAAP, reconciliations, financial close, internal controls, and cloud accounting systems including QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage, and Rippling. I've also supervised and mentored accounting teams while building audit-ready, compliant financial operations.
