What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in a mission-driven organization that values integrity and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a results-driven and ethically grounded Finance and Accounting professional with over four years of experience in delivering comprehensive financial reporting, bookkeeping, and administrative support. My expertise lies in QuickBooks, Excel, and IFMIS, complemented by a strong foundation in budgeting, reconciliation, and audit preparedness. I am currently advancing towards CPA certification at the Intermediate level, having received exemptions from six foundation-level units.

Throughout my career, I have maintained accurate financial records and prepared financial statements while supporting Fairtrade compliance reporting. My role as an Accountant at Chui Farm Fairtrade SHG involved managing invoices, supplier records, and providing administrative support. I have also worked as a Health Finance Assistant with the County Government of Meru, where I processed financial transactions and ensured compliance with government financial procedures. My commitment to operational excellence and process improvement drives me to contribute to organizations that value integrity, inclusivity, and purpose.
