What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on receivables/credit control within collaborative finance teams where I can improve collections, strengthen controls, and support accurate month-end reporting and budgeting.

I am an accounts receivable and credit control accountant with progressive experience across hospitality and corporate environments, working with NetSuite, Sun and QuickBooks. I specialize in credit assessment, debt collection, aged debt analysis, reconciliations and month-end reporting, and have driven recommendations to maintain a 30–60 day ageing period while preparing P&L, balance sheet reconciliations and budgets for multiple properties.

My background includes roles from assistant credit controller to receivables/general ledger accountant where I handled invoice processing, payment allocation, bank and MPesa reconciliations, revenue control, petty cash and creditor reconciliations. I bring strong customer communication, negotiation and people-management skills, and a commitment to accurate financial controls and timely collections.
