@mercywairimu1
Accountant with 2+ years' experience in accounts receivable, reconciliations, and compliance.
What I'm looking for
I am an accountant with over two years of hands-on experience in accounts receivable, reconciliations, audit preparation, and internal controls. I hold a Bachelor of Commerce (Finance) and have completed CPA Section 4 through KASNEB.
In my roles I have managed complex accounts, resolved discrepancies, and supported timely revenue collection while strengthening internal controls and improving audit readiness. I bring advanced Microsoft Excel skills and practical experience with QuickBooks and ERP accounting systems.
Key achievements include implementing streamlined reporting processes that improved reconciliation accuracy and developing Excel-based reporting templates that increased efficiency and accuracy of reconciliations. I am committed to compliance with IFRS standards and regulatory adherence.
I work well under deadlines, prioritize multiple tasks effectively, and align my efforts with organizational missions, particularly in equity-focused environments. I am eager to apply my financial analysis and problem-solving skills to contribute to a financially disciplined and mission-driven team.
