What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead finance operations and treasury with strong governance—driving cash flow strategy, liquidity, and risk controls while optimizing payables and ensuring IFRS/tax compliance. I want a team focused on accountability, process improvement, and disciplined execution.

I’m a results-driven finance professional with over 6 years of progressive experience in accounts payable, treasury management, and financial operations, currently serving as Head of Finance Operations and Treasury. I lead cash flow forecasting, liquidity management, and financial risk mitigation—using financial insights to improve operational efficiency and support strategic decision-making.

In my roles, I strengthen internal controls and compliance frameworks aligned with IFRS and regulatory standards, oversee high-value payment cycles (KES 150M+ monthly), and manage relationships with banks, auditors, and tax advisors. I’ve built and led high-performing finance teams of up to 19 staff, supported treasury decisions for short-term investment planning, and contributed to process improvements that reduced tax penalties to zero.
