What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead finance operations for donor-funded or mission-driven organizations, strengthening internal controls, financial reporting, compliance, audit readiness, and team performance.

At USAID Dumisha Afya, I lead financial controls, budget reviews, general-ledger maintenance, donor reporting, and audit follow-up for a complex donor-funded program.

I prepare Fund Accountability Statements, SF-1034 liquidation reports, SF-425 income and expenditure reports, cost-share reports, burn-rate reporting, and reconciliations. I've also established the project internal control system from scratch and led finance operations that received favorable audit findings from PwC and Deloitte.

Previously, I managed sub-award finances at USAID Ampath Plus and audited financial statements, disclosures, audit programs, and management letters at Mitoko and Company.

My foundation includes six years as Senior Accountant at Osienala, CPA-K membership, and practical experience in budgeting, statutory compliance, donor reporting, accounting systems, and finance-team mentorship.
