What I'm looking for

I seek a results-oriented finance or remote accounting role offering growth, strong internal controls, collaborative teams, and opportunities to apply data-driven financial insights.

I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA-K finalist) with 10+ years of progressive experience in SACCO and financial services, specializing in bookkeeping, bank and account reconciliation, budgeting, financial reporting, audit support, and payment processing. I have driven measurable improvements—resolving variances to improve record accuracy by 17%, enhancing budget adherence by 13%, and strengthening ledger accuracy by 18% while managing high volume transactions and branch-level controls.

I leverage QuickBooks, Microsoft Navision, Advanced Excel, Power BI and other data tools to produce actionable financial insights and support geographically distributed teams via Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365. I am seeking a results-focused finance, accounting, or remote accounting role where I can apply strong accounting fundamentals and evolving data science skills to improve controls, reporting, and decision-making.
