Rebecca Wanjiku
@rebeccawanjiku1
I lead IFRS reporting, statutory audits, and finance operations that strengthen compliance and decision-making.
What I'm looking for
I've led accounting and audit work for Lawrence M. N Associates, WIA East Africa, Plan International, APHRC, CARE International, and multiple statutory-audit clients across Kenya and East Africa. I produce IFRS-aligned financial statements, management reports, and evidence-backed audit conclusions that strengthen governance, compliance, and leadership decision-making.
In my current accounting leadership role, I improved month-end reporting accuracy by 33% through stronger reconciliations, review controls, and journal validation. Across 18+ years in accounting, audit, and finance operations, I've led statutory and donor-funded audits, internal-controls reviews, financial analysis, and compliance reporting.
