What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can lead IFRS reporting, revenue assurance, and process improvements within a collaborative, compliance-focused organization.

I am a finance and insurance professional with 6+ years' experience delivering IFRS-compliant financial reporting, revenue assurance, reconciliations, and internal control improvements across banking, insurance, and SACCO environments. I have a track record of strengthening controls, maintaining audit readiness, managing payroll and statutory compliance, and providing actionable insights that support strategic decision-making.

Notable achievements include surpassing deposit mobilisation targets by KES 20M, reducing loan processing time from 72 to 24 hours, supporting regulatory licensing of a SACCO, leading data protection registration, and allocating free cashflow to bancassurance that contributed 35% of profit in 2024. I work collaboratively across functions and with regulators to drive process improvement and financial discipline.
