What I'm looking for

I seek a senior finance or audit role in a globally focused organization where I can strengthen controls, lead forensic and statutory audits, improve reporting systems, and support strategic financial growth.

I am a results-driven finance, accounting, audit, and taxation professional with over 8 years of hands-on experience across commercial and non-profit sectors. I specialize in financial management strategies, external audits, taxation, and ensuring regulatory compliance with IFRS and US GAAP.

Throughout my career I have directed audits that reduced costs by 10% and supervised engagements that contributed significantly to firm revenue, while leading forensic investigations that uncovered fraud in international and humanitarian institutions.

I have streamlined donor financial reporting for multiple NGOs and implemented real-time reporting systems for clients, improving accuracy and transparency. I routinely collaborate with remote and hybrid teams to deliver timely, actionable audit findings.

I hold a Bachelor of Commerce (Finance) and am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA K). I am seeking senior finance or audit opportunities where I can align financial strategy with organizational growth and strengthen controls and governance.
