What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and values teamwork.

I am a finance professional with over a year of experience in credit control and finance. My expertise lies in accurately allocating customer receipts to open invoices, dispatching invoices, and reconciling customer accounts to enhance cash flow. I have a proven track record of resolving payment discrepancies and maintaining effective filing systems to optimize collections.

In my current role as an Accountant at Itel Electricals, I have successfully improved monthly cash flow by 15% through diligent invoice management and customer follow-ups. I take pride in my ability to collaborate with sales and operations teams to ensure timely reconciliation of sales data and customer orders. My attention to detail has enabled me to maintain a 98% data accuracy rate while managing over 100 sales orders monthly.

Additionally, I am pursuing a Certificate in Cybersecurity from Moringa School, which complements my Bachelor of Commerce in Finance from the University of Nairobi. I am committed to continuous learning and professional growth, aiming to leverage my skills in a dynamic finance role.
