KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented accountant with 5+ years of experience in US GAAP, IFRS, and full-cycle financial reporting, specializing in month-end close, reconciliations, audit preparation, and automation using tools such as QuickBooks, Rentvine, and Microsoft Dynamics. I have a proven record of streamlining accounting processes, shortening close cycles, recovering overdue balances, and supporting cross-functional teams in fast-paced, U.S.-focused environments.
I have managed large property and receivables portfolios, implemented automation projects that reduced errors and accelerated billing, and supported successful audit cycles while maintaining compliance with taxation and reporting requirements. I am committed to continuous learning, knowledge-sharing with new hires, and partnering with legal, operations, and people teams to strengthen controls and financial transparency.
