What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an accounting/finance role where I can own reconciliations and financial reporting, strengthen internal controls, and deliver measurable cost savings—while leading teams and serving clients professionally in deadline-driven environments.

I’m a diligent finance professional with over five years’ experience in accounts reconciliations and financial reporting, and I’m known for developing and implementing financial systems like internal controls, payroll and tax computations, and financial risk assessments. I bring the ability to incorporate strategies that improve profits, processes and productivity while minimizing costs.

In my roles, I led fast-paced, deadline-driven work where accuracy and compliance mattered—managing sensitive documents, conducting aging analysis, supporting cash flow schedules, and ensuring timely, correct payment processing. I’ve contributed measurable results, including reducing expenses by 25%, strengthening internal controls by identifying discrepancies valued at KSh 200,000 per month, reducing stock theft by 45%, and improving stock-taking efficiency by 50%.
