Elvinah Wanjiru
@elvinahwanjiru
Finance graduate skilled in accounting, reconciliations, and transactional support.
What I'm looking for
I am a finance graduate with hands-on accounting and administrative experience supporting accounting, tax and payroll services. I bring practical exposure to financial reporting and transactional processes from placements and short-term roles.
At Longhorn Publishers I worked within a team of finance professionals where I handled banking of cheques, account reconciliation, balancing of accounts, and preparation of daily, weekly and monthly reports while reporting to the credit controller. I am experienced in processing invoices, supplier inquiries and routine journal entries.
I have also developed strong customer-facing skills through roles that demanded order management, product knowledge, customer follow-up and documentation control, including client communication and inbound/outbound calling responsibilities. These roles sharpened my problem-solving, active listening and relationship-management abilities.
I work with attention to detail, adaptability and a collaborative mindset, and I am proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. I am seeking an accounting or finance role where I can apply reconciliations, reporting and transactional skills while continuing to grow professionally.
