At Strathmore University, I prepare financial statements and management reports in accordance with IFRS, and manage the accuracy of the General Ledger. I also coordinate period-end close activities and perform balance sheet reconciliations.

I previously worked as a Payroll Accountant and Payroll Accounts Assistant at Strathmore University. I processed payroll, prepared statutory deductions, and supported payroll audits; as a Payroll Accounts Assistant, I processed payroll for over 1,400 employees.

Earlier, I prepared cargo cost analysis at Kenya Airways Limited and overhead reports at East African Breweries Limited. I also completed data analytics training using Power BI and taxation training covering VAT, corporate tax, PAYE, withholding tax, and excise duty.
