What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level role in an NGO where I can support accurate financial reporting, reconciliation, and budgeting, learn from experienced accountants, and contribute to transparent, donor-aligned decision-making.

I’m a motivated and analytical BCom Accounting graduate from KCA University with a strong foundation in financial reporting, analysis, and accountability. Through my attachment at the University of Nairobi’s Accounting Department, I supported day-to-day financial operations, including data entry, record keeping, document management, and reconciliation of financial records.

I’m currently pursuing CPA through KASNEB to deepen my professional competence, and I’m eager to apply my knowledge in an NGO finance or administrative team. I care deeply about the social sector—how sound financial management strengthens NGO impact and accountability—and I’m open to learning, highly adaptable, and driven to grow in a mission-driven environment.
