What I'm looking for

I'm available for US business hours as an independent contractor.

At Uganda Out There Limited, I rebuilt the prior year's accounting records across five active construction sites, producing audit-ready books. I also keep the general ledger clean through reconciliations and accurate month-end closes.

At Ideal Tents Uganda Limited, I ran the finance function for operations in Uganda and Kenya, including budgeting, payroll and statutory compliance. I handled billing, credit control and collections for clients including USAID, the Red Cross and the WHO, and delivered more than five consecutive clean statutory audits with zero penalties.

Earlier, I processed supplier invoices at Diamonds Leisure Beach & Golf Resort and kept transaction and supplier records at Chapa Copy Limited. I'm a CPA (Kenya) with hands-on accounting experience across Uganda and Kenya, and I’m available for US business hours as an independent contractor.
