Nelly Orina
@nellyorina
Detail-oriented accountant specializing in accounts receivable, reconciliations, and IFRS reporting across East Africa.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented, proactive accountant with over 2 years of experience focused on accounts receivable, financial reporting, reconciliations, and credit control across East Africa (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Rwanda). I bring strong analytical thinking, integrity, and a commitment to operational excellence aligned with organizational goals.
In my current role as a Reconciliation Assistant, I monitor daily receipts, verify remittances through channels such as RTGS, EFT, and M-Pesa, and ensure transaction accuracy, completeness, and compliance. I also perform reconciliation and sign-off for intermediary and control accounts, investigate discrepancies with banks and brokers, and prepare reconciliation reports for management review.
Previously, as an Accounts Receivable Assistant, I prepared and issued invoices, statements, and payment schedules with tax and statutory compliance in multiple countries. I managed accounts receivable and collections, supported month-end and year-end closing, resolved variances through monthly bank and ledger reconciliations, and helped strengthen internal controls to meet audit requirements.
Earlier, as an Accounting Intern, I processed invoices, receipts, and payments while supporting IFRS-aligned accounting procedures. Across roles, I’ve consistently focused on internal control compliance, audit readiness, and accurate record-keeping—using tools like QuickBooks, SAP ERP, and Microsoft Excel to deliver timely, reliable financial reporting.
