What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role in a dynamic organization that values integrity, offering opportunities for professional growth and impactful financial strategy development.

I am a dedicated and results-driven financial management and accounting professional with over 10 years of experience across various sectors, including INGO, Fintech, Healthcare IT, Regulatory, and Construction. My expertise spans financial accounting, reporting, budgeting, and forecasting, with a strong focus on process improvement and compliance.

In my current role as an Accounting Associate at HD Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue, I oversee financial operations, manage project budgets, and ensure donor compliance. Previously, as Finance & HR Manager at Applink Capital Kenya, I was responsible for the overall financial strategy and team management. My experience also includes roles at Seven Seas Technologies Limited and China Road & Bridge Corporation, where I handled project accounting, financial controls, and audit preparations.

I hold a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting from Multimedia University of Kenya and am a qualified CPA. My technical proficiency includes ERP systems such as SAP, QuickBooks, and Microsoft Dynamics NAV, along with strong MS Office skills. I am passionate about mentoring teams and driving financial excellence in dynamic environments.
