What I'm looking for

I am seeking an entry-level finance role where I can apply Excel-driven analysis, support budgeting and reporting, grow technical skills, and contribute to process improvements within a collaborative team.

I am an Economics and Finance with IT student nearing graduation with practical experience in financial reporting, budget preparation, and administrative support. I delivered data-driven insights using Excel during a finance attachment at Machakos University and conducted academic research on AI's economic impact.

I have hands-on experience in invoice processing, accounts payable and receivable, data entry, and month-end closing procedures, and I present clear policy recommendations and forecasts from my research. I am motivated to apply my analytical skills and IT knowledge to support finance teams and contribute to cost-saving and process-improvement initiatives.
