What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a remote Accounts Receivable Specialist opportunity where my reconciliation skills, customer payment follow-up, attention to detail, and practical accounting experience can support timely collections and accurate financial reporting.

Since 2016, I’ve provided accounting and finance support to approximately eight businesses, maintaining customer ledgers and resolving payment discrepancies. I process invoices and receipts, follow up on overdue balances, and support accurate financial reporting.

At FEATHER TRAIL SAFARIS, I manage accounts receivable and payable, reconcile customer accounts, and prepare budgets and cash-flow forecasts. I also administer payroll for approximately 25 employees.

At NAIROBI SAFARI CLUB, I led the computerization of accounting operations, including point-of-sale revenue collection and back-office financial systems. Improved processes reduced month-end closing time from approximately three days to one day.
