What I'm looking for

Seeking a role in audit, compliance, or risk management where I can apply my CPA expertise in financial analysis, AML, and internal controls. I value regulatory compliance, process optimization, and data-driven decision-making in a growth-focused environment.

Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with four years of experience in financial reporting, auditing, compliance, and risk management across diverse industries. Currently serving as a Senior Compliance & Audit Specialist at FinTrust Consulting and an Assistant Accountant (Part-Time) at Anchor East Africa Ltd. I specialize in audit & assurance, tax compliance, financial risk assessment, and anti-money laundering (AML) regulations.

Throughout my career, I have led initiatives that improved financial reporting accuracy by 25%, optimized reconciliation processes to reduce discrepancies by 30%, and strengthened internal controls to mitigate compliance risks. My expertise in Advanced Excel, QuickBooks, Business Data Analytics (BDA), and intercompany transactions enables me to drive financial efficiency and regulatory compliance.

Beyond my technical expertise, I have experience mentoring junior accountants, conducting training sessions on audit best practices and fraud detection, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to implement cost-saving financial strategies. My passion lies in leveraging data-driven insights and compliance frameworks to enhance financial integrity and operational excellence.

I am actively seeking opportunities to contribute my expertise in audit, financial compliance, and risk assessment to organizations that value accuracy, efficiency, and regulatory adherence.
