What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic accounting position that fosters growth and learning.

I am an ambitious and dedicated accountant with a strong passion for financial reporting, analysis, and auditing. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Commerce with an Accounting Major from Strathmore University, where I graduated with Second Class Honors (Upper Division). I am currently pursuing my C.P.A Section 4, Intermediate Level, further enhancing my expertise in the field. My commitment to lifelong learning and adaptability enables me to stay current with emerging accounting trends and technologies.

During my internship experiences at GMK Accountants LLP and the Council of Governors, I developed and documented audit programs, performed tests of internal controls, and prepared financial reports. My roles have equipped me with strong analytical abilities and a keen attention to detail, which I apply to ensure compliance with tax laws and statutory deductions. I thrive in team environments and am proactive in problem-solving, always aiming to contribute significantly to organizational success.
