@ericksonmugo
I am a finance manager driving cost optimization and compliance.
I have over 9 years of experience in finance and accounting, leading financial management, budgeting, forecasting, and internal-control initiatives across hospitality and corporate sectors. I deliver actionable financial insight and drive improvements that support operational decision-making.
I have led initiatives that reduced production costs by 15% and supported regulatory work that contributed to a 60% increase in sales revenue, and I successfully integrated PMS, POS, and accounting systems to enable real-time reporting. I prepare cost/price proposals and pricing volumes with DCAA compliance, and I am progressing through CPA Part 2 to strengthen my technical foundation.
I focus on process improvement, accurate financial reporting, tax compliance, and building strong supplier and cross-functional relationships to improve profitability and operational efficiency.
