What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Finance Manager with over a decade of experience in financial management, grants administration, and compliance. My career has been marked by my ability to create and manage budgets, ensuring that all expenditures align with donor agreements and organizational policies. At the Turkana Basin Institute, I assist the CFO in overseeing the finance department, managing cash flows, and ensuring timely payroll processing. My commitment to integrity and quality work drives me to produce accurate financial reports and maintain compliance with international financial reporting standards.
Previously, I worked with the United Nations, where I was responsible for managing donor funding, preparing financial reports, and ensuring compliance with donor requirements. My advanced skills in Excel and computerized accounting systems have enabled me to analyze data effectively and present it in a clear, actionable format. I thrive in collaborative environments and have a proven track record of building capacity among implementing partners, ensuring that projects are executed efficiently and effectively.
