Stock Management Accountant optimizing inventory, reconciliations, and ERP-driven reporting at Telkom Kenya.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Performance-driven Stock Management Accountant with extensive experience in financial reporting, inventory control, and data administration at Telkom Kenya. I’ve built a track record of optimizing operational efficiency while managing multi-million shilling financial processes in high-pressure environments.
In my current role, I manage dealer commissions, credit notes, and partner balance reconciliations between POS and SAGE. I oversee stock movement records and authorized credit notes for replacements, and I perform monthly AP-Dealer vs. GL reconciliations while enforcing internal accounting controls.
I also take ownership of stock audit queries and provide finance oversight for sales financial reporting. Alongside this, I’ve supported inventory accuracy through regular stock audits—maintaining 95% accuracy in inventory records—and improved warehouse performance by reducing operational errors by 30% through the development and enforcement of warehouse SOPs.
Previously, as a Junior Accountant, I reduced month-end closing time by 15% by streamlining financial reporting processes and improved insurance claim efficiency by 20%, securing over $10,000 in compensations. I complement these outcomes with advanced Excel and financial modeling (including variance and trend analyses) to support strategic decision-making, while ensuring compliance with financial regulations.
