Mohamed Mohamud
@mohamedmohamud
CPA-qualified finance professional driving reporting, forecasting, and controls.
What I'm looking for
I’m a CPA(K)-qualified finance professional with over 7 years of experience in banking and financial operations. I bring structure to ambiguous problems, track results, and communicate findings clearly to stakeholders.
In my role as Finance Consultant (Independent) in Nairobi, I advise SMEs on budgeting, cash-flow management, financial controls, and risk management to improve financial stability and decision-making. I also support Islamic finance compliance and governance frameworks aligned with IFRS and local regulations, strengthening accountability and the quality of reporting.
Previously, as a Finance Officer at a Kenyan Bank, I managed financial reporting for 500+ client accounts while ensuring full IFRS and regulatory compliance and reducing audit issues by 25%. I led annual budgeting and rolling forecasts, identifying cost-optimisation initiatives that generated USD 150,000 in annual savings, and supported digital finance initiatives that cut monthly reporting time by 30%.
Earlier, at ABSA Bank, I maintained accurate bookkeeping and prepared monthly financial statements with 100% data accuracy, while reducing payment cycles from 15 days to 3 days. I’m motivated to support BRAC International’s AIM programme by helping design and deliver financial inclusion solutions, strengthen frontline capacity, and improve reporting to contribute to the economic empowerment of young women across Africa.
