Dedicated finance professional driving accurate reporting, controls, and cost reduction.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Finance and Administration professional with over five years of progressive experience in accounting, financial management, and organizational support. I hold CPA Section 5, an Accounting Technicians Certificate, and diplomas in Business Management, and I am pursuing a Bachelor of Commerce.
My hands-on experience includes payroll for 100+ employees, bank reconciliations, statutory returns (VAT, WHT, PPRA), and maintaining robust filing and register systems. I have a proven record of improving inventory controls and reducing discrepancies through regular stock takes.
At The Nairobi Women's Hospital I compiled management accounts, reconciled bank statements, enforced financial policies at a new branch, and achieved supplier price reductions and corrected accounting discrepancies. I focus on strengthening internal controls, accurate financial reporting, and delivering actionable analysis to inform decision-making.
I bring strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a collaborative approach to training and mentorship. I am committed to integrity, accountability, and supporting organizational mission and growth through improved financial systems and efficient processes.
