What I'm looking for

I am looking for a remote role that values collaboration, offers growth opportunities, and allows me to contribute to financial excellence.

As an experienced Accountant with over five years of expertise, I have honed my skills in full-cycle accounting, financial analysis, and regulatory compliance. My proficiency in managing annual budgets exceeding KES 20 million and reconciling accounts with 98% accuracy has significantly contributed to the financial integrity of the organizations I've worked with. I have a proven track record of reducing financial discrepancies through improved internal controls and streamlining online payment systems, enhancing operational efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have successfully overseen accounts payable and receivable processes, ensuring compliance with statutory requirements while working collaboratively with virtual teams. My experience includes preparing detailed financial statements and reports that support data-driven decision-making for senior management. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in QuickBooks, SAGE, and ERP systems to drive organizational growth and excellence in a remote accounting or finance role.
