@emilygwaro

I deliver compliant audits, financial reporting, tax support, and accounting operations across diverse industries.

I'm a Certified Public Accountant with over 10 years of experience maintaining compliant financial records, supporting audits, and analyzing financial reports.

At PKF Kenya LLP, I plan, manage, and execute risk-based audits, review client accounting information, prepare financial statements, and deliver practical audit recommendations.

Previously at DeLyde Associates, I supervised outsourced accounting teams, prepared management accounts, advised clients on tax matters, processed payroll, and developed finance manuals and controls.

I've also trained junior audit staff, managed receivables and payables, completed reconciliations, and used QuickBooks Online, MYOB, Tally, Excel, Xero, and Sun System to keep client records audit-ready.
