What I'm looking for
I am an accounting and reservations professional with over 14 years' experience across finance, audit and hospitality management. I specialize in tax compliance, payroll, financial reporting and hotel reservations operations.
In my most recent role I managed end-to-end accounting functions—tax computation, payroll, statutory payments—and prepared monthly and annual financial statements while implementing financial policies and supervising reservations staff.
I have hands-on audit experience from earlier roles, including bookkeeping, client record preparation, KRA tax compliance and audit report preparation with actionable recommendations. I also worked as an enumerator, collecting and ensuring accuracy of household census data.
I am known for strong analytical skills, attention to detail and the ability to streamline processes, maintain booking systems, handle invoicing and reconciliations, and work effectively with diverse teams.
