What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth and allows me to utilize technology in accounting.

I am a dedicated accountant with a strong commitment to delivering accurate financial information and enhancing accounting practices. With a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting and hands-on experience in various accounting roles, I have developed a solid foundation in financial administration, reconciliation, and the use of accounting software.

Currently, I serve as a Receptionist/Finance Officer at Njiine Kabia Falls, where I manage day-to-day financial operations and ensure the accuracy of financial records. My previous internships at Zucchini Greengrocers and Gulf Power Ltd have equipped me with valuable skills in financial reporting, supplier communication, and compliance with tax regulations. I am passionate about leveraging technology to improve accounting processes and contribute to organizational growth.
