What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can lead IFRS-compliant reporting, improve controls and automation, mentor juniors, and contribute to strategic decision-making in a collaborative, growth-oriented team.

I am a senior finance professional with 8+ years' experience in cross-border accounting, tax compliance and audit coordination across East Africa and the UK. I have delivered 100% tax and statutory compliance over five years, led IFRS-aligned reporting that informed CFO decisions, and managed portfolios exceeding KES 500 million while improving AP accuracy and shortening close timelines through automation.

I lead onboarding and documentation improvements for junior accountants, implemented tighter controls to support clean audit outcomes, and drove process automation that freed capacity for strategic analysis. I bring practical operational leadership, technical accounting expertise, and a track record of measurable improvements to accounting and finance teams seeking reliable, audit-ready financial management.
