What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values financial accuracy and offers opportunities for growth.

I am an experienced bookkeeper with a strong background in managing day-to-day financial tasks for small and medium enterprises as well as startups. I hold a Bookkeeping Masterclass certification from RWK Africa and have completed CPA Part III. Currently, I am expanding my skills in Business Data Analytics with KASNEB. Over the years, I've worked in both remote and hybrid roles, handling everything from reconciliations and invoicing to financial reporting and audit support.

My professional journey has equipped me with the ability to manage cash flows, ensure compliance, and improve billing processes. At Game Seven Africa, I successfully improved cost control and highlighted key variances, which enhanced financial stability. I take pride in maintaining organized financial records and ensuring timely payments, which fosters trust and business continuity. My goal is to help teams stay on top of their numbers and make better financial decisions.
