What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role in a mission-driven organization where I can apply CPA skills, strengthen internal controls, mentor teams, and contribute to transparent, compliant financial operations.

I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA-K) with extensive experience in accounting, auditing, and public sector financial management, focused on accuracy, compliance and fiscal stewardship.

Over more than a decade I have managed budgets, payroll, invoicing and day-to-day accounting for regional government institutions, prepared reconciliations and financial reports, and monitored expenditures to identify misuse and recommend corrective actions.

My background includes roles in prison administration and treasury services where I developed strong skills in internal controls, vote book verification, revenue recording and staff supervision, consistently ensuring operations complied with institutional policies and regulations.

I bring attention to detail, effective stakeholder communication and leadership in improving financial processes, and I am committed to using my technical skills and integrity to support organizational success.
