Dedicated accountant with 5+ years optimizing financial operations and ensuring compliance.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated accountant with over five years of hands-on experience managing complex financial processes, including budgeting, forecasting, reconciliation, and statutory compliance. I have driven measurable improvements—such as faster customer onboarding, reduced discrepancies, optimized payment cycles, and increased donor engagement—by applying technology like Excel, Navision/Dynamics, SQL and Tableau to streamline workflows.
I thrive in remote and hybrid environments and have supported audits, grants reporting, and multi-account reconciliations across NGOs and humanitarian organisations. I am pursuing further professional development (MBA ongoing, CPA Section 3) and seek senior financial management responsibilities where I can scale controls, reporting, and efficiency.
