CPA-K Financial Accountant | 9+ years full-cycle accounting | AP/AR, compliance & automation | Remote-ready
What I'm looking for
I am a CPA-K qualified Financial Accountant based in Nakuru, Kenya, with over nine years of experience managing end-to-end accounting operations across manufacturing, automotive, and services industries. My work sits at the intersection of financial accuracy and process improvement — I do not just maintain books, I look for what can be done better and build systems around it. Most recently, I built a Power Query automation that cut month-end reconciliation time by 50%, and I have maintained 100% on-time VAT and statutory filings with zero penalties throughout my current role.
I am experienced across SAP Business One, QuickBooks, Acumatica, and Xero, and I am comfortable working independently in lean finance teams where ownership and reliability matter more than hand-holding. I am actively seeking remote bookkeeping and accounting roles with international clients, and I am available to work across US and European time zones.
