Naira Ssonko

I’m a CPA (Uganda) Level III finance professional with 9+ years of experience delivering IFRS-compliant financial reporting and autonomous, cloud-based bookkeeping. I specialize in high-volume reconciliations and audit-ready controls that keep month-end closes reliable in decentralized, remote-ready environments.

In my current role at Lyca Mobile Uganda, I maintain 99%+ accuracy in customer ledger reconciliations and payment postings to protect IFRS-aligned month-end reporting. I’ve also accelerated VAT and LED remittance cycles by 5 days through streamlined digital computation and filing, and reduced Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) by 30 days by independently analyzing aging reports and prioritizing collections.

Before this, as an Accounts Payable Specialist at Lyca Mobile Uganda, I orchestrated the full-cycle AP process for 300+ suppliers, ensuring payments matched contracts and LPOs. I managed payroll for 150 employees with 100% tax compliance (PAYE, LST, WHT), and I reconciled monthly supplier statements to resolve discrepancies and maintain audit-ready digital records.

Earlier, I served as a Regional Finance Coordinator (Portfolio Management) for FHI 360 (USAID), where I ensured 100% adherence to USAID regulations for end-to-end payment approvals across a multi-regional portfolio. As an Internal Auditor at Roofings Limited, I executed full-cycle internal audits, managed multi-currency bank reconciliations (UGX/USD), and verified payroll and tax compliance to safeguard company assets.
