@marvinmasai

I lead IFRS-compliant audits, strengthen controls, and improve financial reporting.

I've led end-to-end audits for major Caribbean banks at KPMG Caricom, including Bank of Nova Scotia, CIBC, NCB, and Sagicor Bank. I manage risk-based plans, review IFRS financial statements, and strengthen internal controls across multi-entity engagements.

Across Grant Thornton Kenya, KKCO East Africa, and Avinash Shah Bhatti & Associates, I've delivered audits for NGOs, donor-funded projects, investment firms, SMEs, and corporate clients. I bring 10+ years of audit and finance experience, team leadership, financial analysis, tax compliance, and cross-border project delivery, including a $1M healthcare controls implementation in Burundi.
