What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can drive financial governance and operational efficiency in the energy or related sectors, with opportunities for strategic impact and stakeholder collaboration.

I am a results-driven finance professional with extensive experience in the energy sector across Kenya and Zambia, skilled in financial management, regulatory compliance, and data-driven decision-making. I have delivered measurable improvements in budgeting, cash-flow forecasting, audit readiness, and operational controls while supporting start-ups and growth-stage companies through a private consultancy.

As a consultant and former senior accountant, I have led financial reporting, variance analysis, fixed-asset management, payroll, and compliance programs, and I have negotiated with banks and government agencies to secure project financing. I bring strong systems experience (SAP HANA, Sage ACCPAC, Tally ERP, Focus ERP), advanced Excel skills, and a collaborative approach to stakeholder engagement and process optimization.
