What I'm looking for

I want to work in a robust, challenging, dynamic organization where I can make a positive contribution—utilizing my accounting and financial management skills—while continuing to learn and handle complex work.

I’m an associate financial management advisor focused on delivering accurate financial reporting and helping clients meet their objectives. I’m self-motivated, attentive to detail, and comfortable sorting through complex information to produce reliable outputs.

In my current role with KPMG East Africa, I design innovative delivery concepts for clients, analyze client risks and mitigation approaches, and manage client projects to ensure quality delivery and strong financial management. I also carry out research on development-related topics, prepare and analyze risk documents, and support assurance engagements across various sectors.

Previously, I handled end-to-end accounting and tax responsibilities at National Housing and Construction Company Limited, including monthly tax returns (VAT, WHT, PAYE), VAT reconciliations, income tax computations and returns, and regular tax advice. I’ve also built practical finance capability as a Finance Assistant (reconciliations, cost analysis, forecasts, budgeting) and started my career as an Audit Trainee working with audit evidence, sampling, and the application of relevant accounting standards.
