@franklinkuira

Junior Accountant skilled in IFRS-compliant reporting, reconciliation, and data-driven finance.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an immediate-impact accounting role where I can deliver accurate reconciliations and IFRS-compliant reporting, strengthen internal controls, and use Excel, SQL, and Python to support budgeting, forecasting, and better business decisions.

I’m a results-driven Junior Accountant with a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) from Kirinyaga University and a Data Science Nanodegree from Moringa School, both completed in 2025. I combine finance fundamentals with analytics to support accurate reporting and faster decision-making.

In my 2024 role with Kirinyaga County Government (Treasury Department), I improved bank reconciliation accuracy across 6 departments by implementing structured Excel reconciliation templates, reducing unresolved variances by ~30% in the first quarter. I also supported quarterly financial reports and departmental expenditure summaries used for budgeting and forecasting, ensuring IFRS-compliant statutory reporting.

I strengthened internal controls by verifying and processing 50+ financial transactions weekly and maintained consolidated accounts payable/receivable ledgers to improve end-of-quarter audit readiness. Previously at Derby Place and Lounge, I achieved zero unresolved discrepancies, reduced reconciliation turnaround time through standardized daily cash processes, and produced structured Excel revenue reports that improved expense visibility by ~20%.
