Reuben Gikabia
@reubengikabia
Finance leader at ATC Kenya Services Limited who recovered USD 30,000 in monthly revenue leakage through revenue-assurance controls.
What I'm looking for
At ATC Kenya Services Limited, I produced financial analysis and executive reporting that shaped forecasts and operating plans, while keeping submissions aligned with IFRS and GAAP. I also recovered a USD 30,000 monthly revenue-leakage run rate through controls that reconciled billing against contracted terms.
At Eaton Towers Kenya Limited, I steered budgeting and quarterly forecasting, narrowing variances by 15% and releasing USD 50,000 in yearly savings. I refreshed the 10-year business plan and rebuilt commercial cases, lifting projected revenue by 12% and adding USD 0.5 million to the opportunity pipeline.
As Treasury & Revenue Accountant at Eaton Towers Kenya Limited, I oversaw monthly cash flows of KES 3 billion and helped implement Microsoft Dynamics AX for finance. I compressed receivable days from 60 to 45 and accelerated month-end close from day +3 to day +1.
Earlier, at Airtel Networks Kenya Limited, I rebuilt monthly reporting templates, improving statement-preparation efficiency by 20%. I hold an MBA in Finance, a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting, and the CPA-K qualification, and I'm seeking a Finance Manager or Financial Controller role in multi-country, supply-chain-intensive operations involving ERP-driven finance transformation.
