What I'm looking for

I'm eager to advance professionally and contribute to business success. I'm teachable and ready to learn from experienced professionals.

At Solagen Power Ltd, I work as an Accountant, managing invoices and accounts payable and receivable. I also handle cashbook entries and prepare monthly bank reconciliations and financial reports.

I support payroll processing and audits, maintain schedules for prepayments and accruals, and manage VAT returns and statutory contributions. I also operate Electronic Tax Registers to support accurate sales recording and tax compliance.

During my industrial attachment at Kenya Power and Lighting Company, I worked with the finance, revenue, and debt control departments. My tasks included keying cheques in SAP, preparing monthly statements, correcting billing and payment errors, and contacting debtors about payment terms.
