Don Ian Mbogo
@donianmbogo
I build AI-enabled finance operations, reconciliation, and Power BI reporting.
What I'm looking for
I build AI-assisted reconciliation logic, live ERP-connected Power BI dashboards, and automated payables workflows for finance teams. My work helps surface mismatches, improve audit readiness, and shorten month-end close cycles from weeks to days.
Through freelance finance and business intelligence work, I turn budget, sales, pricing, cost, and operational data into scenario models, forecasts, executive dashboards, and practical decisions. I've also evaluated AI-generated finance and accounting reasoning for DataAnnotation.tech, applying IFRS and IPSAS-focused judgment to identify errors in calculations, reasoning, and regulatory interpretation.
My background includes financial reconciliation and fiscal compliance at Kenya Revenue Authority, financial planning and partnership support at International Model United Nations, and earlier computer vision annotation work with Remotasks. I'm pursuing CIPFA certification and bring a preference for verified detail, evidence over assumption, and finance processes people can trust.
