What I'm looking for

I am seeking a finance role where I can apply accounting, tax and internal control expertise, contribute to accurate reporting, and grow in a supportive organization that values integrity and continuous improvement.

I am an experienced financial accountant with seven years of hands-on practice preparing financial statements, reconciling ledgers and bank accounts, and managing payroll, accounts payable and receivable using QuickBooks and other industry-standard software.

I have implemented internal control systems, conducted inventory reconciliations and supported statutory compliance including VAT and annual returns for multiple organizations, and assisted in a five-year audit engagement for an international secretariat.

I approach work with high attention to detail, strong time-management, and a customer-service mentality, and I communicate effectively in English, Swahili and Luhya while maintaining discretion with confidential information.
