Pro-active accountant with strong work ethic and attention to detail.
What I'm looking for
I am a pro-active, self-motivated, results-oriented team player with a strong work ethic and a keen attention to detail. I hold a Bachelor of Commerce with a finance option from Mt. Kenya University, graduating in 2016. Additionally, I have completed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) sections one and two, which has equipped me with a solid foundation in accounting principles and practices.
Currently, I serve as an Accounts Assistant at Almaps Engineering / Sospak Investments Ltd, where I manage intercompany transactions and ensure accurate reconciliation with headquarters. My previous roles as a Senior Accounts Clerk at the Supreme Court Building and Higher Accounts Clerk at Garissa Law Courts have honed my skills in financial documentation, cash management, and ledger maintenance. I am now seeking a challenging position in accounting, finance, or banking where I can leverage my knowledge and experience to contribute to organizational growth and profitability.
