I manage grants, compliance, reporting, and audit-ready finance operations.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
At Kenya BioVax Institute, I review project expenditures and supplier documentation against donor requirements, procurement procedures, and institutional policies. I monitor budget utilization, flag risks and variances, and coordinate donor financial reporting.
Previously at Kenyatta University Teaching Referral and Research Hospital, I managed grants coordination, billing operations, revenue reporting, financial documentation, and audit support. I also prepared Program-Based Budget and Performance Review reports for Ministry of Health submissions.
I've supported financial administration and compliance for World Bank, WHO through the Medicines Patent Pool, and NIHR-UK funded projects. My work includes invoice verification, reconciliations, procurement controls, budget tracking, risk flagging, and maintaining clear audit trails.
I'm a CPA-K with hands-on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and advanced Excel experience. I bring more than eight years of finance experience across donor-funded and institutional environments.
