Esther Kinyanjui
@estherkinyanjui
I’m a CPA-K accountant specializing in remote accounts payable, reconciliations, and reporting.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented Certified Public Accountant (CPA-K) with 8+ years of progressive experience across full-cycle accounts payable, accounts receivable, bank and intercompany reconciliations, bookkeeping, and financial reporting. I work with strong statutory compliance in VAT, PAYE, NHIF, NSSF, and KRA iTax, and I’m known for accuracy, process improvement, and clear cross-border communication.
I’ve successfully delivered remote accounts payable support for a US-based healthcare company, independently managing invoice reconciliation, month-end close support, and reconciliations across time zones. I’ve also strengthened compliance and reporting accuracy by implementing internal controls and audit procedures, and I’ve progressed from intern to accounts assistant to accountant—building end-to-end expertise in finance operations and reporting.
