I improve banking finance systems, reporting, reconciliations, and data-driven financial decision-making.
What I'm looking for
At Equity Bank of Kenya, I support finance-system processes, data validation, reconciliations, issue resolution, requirements analysis, and continuous improvement.
I bring CPA qualification, ongoing Master of Business Finance studies, and experience across financial reporting, forecasting, budgeting, management accounting, banking operations, and finance systems.
I also draw on more than 13 years of teaching Mathematics, Economics, and Business Studies to translate complex financial and quantitative concepts into practical support for stakeholders and users.
