Financial management professional with expertise in donor-funded programs.
What I'm looking for
I am a financial management professional with over 5 years of experience in donor-funded programs, particularly in the health sector, focusing on HIV, TB, and CDC PEPFAR initiatives. My academic background includes a Bachelor of Business Management in Accounting from Rongo University, where I graduated with Second Class Honors (Lower Division). This educational foundation has equipped me with the necessary skills to navigate the complexities of financial reporting and compliance in the non-profit sector.
In my most recent role as an Accountant at Building Africa, I have successfully managed budgeting, financial reporting, and compliance with donor regulations. I have played a pivotal role in ensuring that all financial activities align with the international framework for reporting standards (IFRS) and have implemented corrective actions to enhance financial processes. My experience also includes managing internal audits, asset management, and preparing detailed financial reports that inform stakeholders of spending patterns and compliance with cooperative agreements.
