What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that promotes professional growth and allows me to leverage my accounting expertise.

I am an experienced and dedicated Accountant with over three years of experience in fast-paced environments. My career began as a Tax Assistant at T&T Shah and Associates, where I honed my skills in filing tax returns and preparing statutory documents. This foundational role sparked my passion for accounting and led me to further my expertise.

At PKF Kenya, I served as an Audit Assistant, where I examined financial statements and internal controls, ensuring compliance with applicable laws and standards. My attention to detail and analytical skills were crucial in identifying discrepancies and recommending improvements. Most recently, I worked at MS Shah Consulting LLP as an Accountant, managing accounts payables and preparing monthly management accounts, which solidified my proficiency in QuickBooks and financial analysis.
